Ich kann sagen: Ich habe Alma Deutscher aufwachsen sehen, mehr brauche ich nicht. Danke für dieses Geschenk. Sie wird in einem Atemzug mit den größten Komponisten genannt werde. Auf Augenhöhe. Kein 'Zweiter Mozart', sondern Die Alma Deutscher. May you be blessed. I am.

Rolf Altwein Alma's comprehension, vocabulary and speaking ability of German are excellent and very remarkable. Whereby it must be pointed out that the Austrian German has quite a different sound than the German Hochdeutsch which Alma is speaking.

It makes sense that Alma would use hochdeutsch. In that way, she comes across as an educated individual throughout the German speaking world. Using the various dialects from Austria, Switzerland and regions of Germany would be useful if she wanted to make a career as an actress. As it is, she can be easily understood by any German speaker, and can operate effectively in all her work and social situations.

Her mother tongue is English and it would seem she has been studying German only recently-and learning material is typically standard German. In earlier videos it was mentioned she didn't speak German at all or at least not very well, so interviews were done in English. As she gets into teenage-hood and starts hanging out and drinking with Austrians in German, you can bet that dialect will work its way in! Will be fun to witness!

It is the official German pronunciation (BTW historically hochdeutsch comes from Southern Germany and was learned by Northerners like a foreign language, so they speak it more consistently)

Alma, your German is already remarkable. I was in Vienna for 3 of my teen years - and also got my best music education there from, of all things, a music academy graduate who later returned to the DirigentSchule. It's quite a rush to be able to follow your German: you clearly can express yourself without limitations, and yet you still don't use a big word when a simpler one will do - - - so I can actually follow it and keep up with you.

Ich habe manchmal gedacht, sie könnte seine Reinkarnation sein. Auch wenn es nicht genau so ist, haben sie beide wahrscheinlich eine gewisse Seelenvervandschaft.

When your father is a world famous linguist.

Alma is amazing. Hope to listen to her on Colon's theather, in Argentina.

So besides being a first class violinist, and a first class pianist, and composing the occasional opera or concerto (as we all do), she finds time to learn to speak fluent German. Wie ist das möglich? I have been trying to speak German, ever since, ten years ago, I first heard the exquisitely wonderful Helene Fischer. I now believe there is no hope for me. Moreover, since Helene has decided to become a "circus performer", instead of "eine Sängerin", there is a vacancy in my heart. That position may just have been filled.

My theory: Alma plays music from the speaking part of her brain, unlike most Classical musicians. I transitioned to doing this over the past 15 years, since I was 40. It's a whole new thing for me. I can now play long Bach organ works from memory with easy, just like speaking. I no longer feel like I have a head full of notes and fingerings. Instead, I play ideas. It's just SO much easier and more relaxing and more pleasurable, and I can still play when I'm really really tired, unlike before. (See my channel for examples / evidence. Loads more waiting to be recorded). I so much wish I'd learned this way from the start, but I'm glad I've learned it now. Given this, I think she inherited her incredible music capabilities from her father, a brilliant linguist.

Je l'admire depuis quelques années. Je trouve que ses talents de compositrice sont beaucoup plus exceptionnels que ceux d'instrumentiste. Alors qu'il y a actuellement des milliers de personnes jouant aussi bien ou mieux du violon et du piano qu'elle, je trouve qu'elle est parmi les tout meilleurs compositeurs actuels. J'aime aussi qu'elle suive son propre chemin de composition, faisant fi de toutes les modes ou attentes. Ich Bewundere sie seit ein paar Jahren. Ich finde, dass ihre Komponistintalente ihren Instrumentistentalenten sehr viel überragen. Indem es zur zeit Tausende von Personnen gibt, die so gut oder besser Geige oder Klavier spielen, finde ich, dass sie unter den ganz besten Komponisten unserer Zeit steht. Ich mag auch, dass sie ihren eigenen Weg als Komponistin folgt, ohne die Moden oder Erwartungen zu achten.

Instruments : Alma ne recherche pas la virtuosité pour épater la galerie, comme d'autres parfois encore bien plus jeunes. Elle excelle suffisamment (au moins !) dans deux instruments, ce qui est moins courant. Je rejoins votre opinion : ses talents de compositrice -- dès 4 ans !! -- sont exceptionnels, à un âge où les petites filles jouent avec des poupées américaines. C'est avec stupéfaction qu'on écoute aussi bien "Le balayeur de rêves", écrit à sept ans ou même un peu avant, que le concerto pour violon (romanza) ou son poème symphonique des Sirènes de Solent, écrits tous deux à neuf ans. Quelle précocité ! Quel talent !

😊

I love that I could understand, without looking at the English subtitles, almost everything they both said! What a lovely, gentle, intelligent interview. Thank you to everyone who brought this together.

Wunderschön!!

I think I have never been so impressed with a human being. Alma is at once immensely talented, delightfully open and honest, supremely happy within her self and her soul, ('Alma' means 'soul' in more than one European language). I have had the opportunity to speak with her a couple of times and she is gracious almost to a fault. She mentioned then that she is a synesthete; she sees musical notes as colors. What a wonderful gift she is to the world! I get tears in my eyes each time I see her, as I often do when exposed to genius.

Liebe Alma wann werden wir dich die regieren sehen ich freue mich wenn es soweit ist vielen vielen Dank für deine tolle Arbeit und da du großartigen Inspirationen Rasmus aus Schweden!

It's a strange thing for me to comment, but I have never seen her wear pants. It makes me feel like she really is growing up and making some of her own choices outside of music.
