    I only discovered Alma just last night. Stayed up half the night watching many of her videos. I am at a loss for any other words except astonishing! One of her stated goals is to change the world. For those of us fortunate enough to have witnessed her talents (and there are many), she's achieved her goal. And as one other poster on a different video clip stated, "I'm beginning to believe in the human race again." Me too!

    It seems as though this little girl’s whole world has been music, from the womb onward. We would see a lot more young composers if they were all raised this way. Music 🎼 AM to PM. She is quite impressive, but I think her parents have a lot todo with it. The way Alma lifts her hands from the piano when she has finished playing and the expressions on her face and movements of her body while she plays ; these are all learned from watching other musicians. She is off to a brilliant start.

    As an empath, Alma moves me to tears - she’s absolutely brilliant! However, folks here need to stop expecting everyone in the audience to be spellbound by her. We are all cut from a different cloth - so please stop expecting others to think, feel, behave, respond, and react as you do. What resonates with you may not resonate with someone else. For example, someone may be crazy about golf, while someone else may find it boring. Someone may love heavy metal music, while someone else prefers rap. Someone may love ballet, while someone else prefers belly dancing, etc.

    This young lady thoroughly substantiates my belief that often when we are born our souls are not new. If you watch closely as she is playing an emotion will manifest itself on her face that no ten year old could possibly have comprehension of. We are truly blessed to witness such a glimpse of the soul that she has been gifted with. Mathematics is the purest of languages and once every great while a person comes along and gives a voice to that language. A voice so beautiful that it touches the very essence of who we are as humans. I'm so thankful that I'm here to witness this.

    Mina Matsu 1. update: "Music: Alma Deutscher Story: Alma Deutscher, Elizabeth Adlington, Guy Deutscher Hebrew Lyrics: Tsur Ehrlich, Guy Deutscher Dialogues and dramaturgy consultant: Eitana Medan-Moshe". i'm not sure what is precisely the part of AD in the libretto. The idea is hers. the basic narative too. The Hebrew Lyrics: aren't, so we'll have to wait for the English Lyrics till 29-12, the premiere of the complete opera in...german (??!!). 2. AD put an opera company in her Cinderella opera. This is absolute genius. The story immediately gets an incredible depth: it's not about physical beauty only, but about the beauty of the mind! It's a reflexion of and upon music, creation, honesty, hate and love. And power! Very impressive for an adult. but Totally mind-blowing for a 11 years old. 3. next decade??? the sky is the limit!

    Her ability to articulate the process is impressive but the process itself it the same for most art forms. Many children go through a similar process when drawing or attempting to create a rocket out of a plastic bottle for example. Only adults to not provide them with the right materials, encouragement, or space to work on creating the best final product they are capable of. Many parents, teachers etc talk of children reaching their potential but often lack the knowledge or intelligence to recognise the child's true potential, never mind how to help the child achieve it. Of course the difference with Alma Deutscher that she clearly has fantastic parents & fabulous teachers, along with the determination, time & talent to concentrate on what she wishes to create & is resolute to create an impressive result. The passion along with her talent, Alma Deutscher is bound to do well in life.

True love, not of the bodies, but of the minds. This is a story many will learn from, and use to look at the world through a less primitive scope than promiscuity.

BUT this young lady is the real deal. She has a breadth of knowledge, an inner appreciation of the music, plays two instruments exceptionally well, composes and then writes her own music, and a wonderful command of language (X2). She's humorous, lucid, quirky/eccentric and absolutely charming. Loved the Bach - Double Violin Concerto - and who didn't need the music? Incidentally - who was the lady interviewer?
