Struck By Lightning And Turned Into A Musician?!
In 1994, 42 year old Tony Cicoria was struck by lightning in New York whilst using a public telephone. Before the accident, Tony Cicoria had no interest in music. Yet in the years after this event, as well as debuting his first piano composition, the awesomely named ‘The Lightning Sonata’, he was performing Chopin and Brahms live as a concert pianist. In today’s video, I want to explore Cicoria’s unique case as well as the phenomenon of ‘acquired savant syndrome’, where an individual develops extraordinary gifts after a traumatic accident - and how relevant that is here. So did Tony Cicoria really gain a superpower to play piano when he was struck by lightning, or is there more to it than that?

    Two days ago the question of who was the first to invent written music came up in my mind. Suddenly your video pops up. I did not specifically seach for the answer...I guess I was just clicking on closer and closer topics and the statistical procedure guessed what I would like next...which happened to answer the question. We live in amazing times, just like those time right after guido figured things out!!!

    @DavidGarcia-je8jv 3 місяці тому

    This is pretty ill-informed. Pythagorus tuning is only one of the first written descriptions of these tunings. People around the world have used complex scales and modal systems for thousands of years. We know that Chinese Han had a nearly identical note system eight-hundred years earlier. The monks were not by any means the first to use these notes. Neumes were very useful as a memory aide, so Guido's development wasn't recognized as something so important at first. Plenty of other notations like tablatures existed in many other places around the world and for specific instruments historically. Many music systems historically also played with polyphony in different ways without notation. Staff notation was still incredibly limited just like tablatures (which are a very valid and useful way of notating music), because they had no rhythm notation system for hundreds of years. Perotin is definitely an important figure, but he only expanded on his instructor, Leonin's ideas. Polyphony was a major cultural development not started by any one person. I also think a very important quick mention would be the two major music printing press inventions that began the Renaissance period.
