..Her level of intelligence is frightening, what an amazing young lady.
Musical intelligence to be specific.
Smartteaser192 Alma is clearly highly intelligent, not just musically.
Smartteaser192 not just musical. Just by hearing her talk you can tell that. Didn't you watch the full video?
yeah the way how she express herself is amazing.... and how she loves music
[Her level of intelligence is frightening] I know you meant well, but some people could see her this way "frightening".
dang when i was two i liked running in circles hitting things with sticks
Playing baseball when you were 2? Not bad.
EDIT: I didn't even understand baseball's rules when I was 2.
Wait really? I still do that...
I don't even think I had any intelligence before the age of 10
Nice
Luxury. At two I was on the ground , rolling, and jibber jabbering.
My child licks windows ...it's really amazing and we have some really clean windows
hobonickel your comment has completely 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lmao
😂
autistic?
Lol
Good to see something refreshing happy news ........ She is so passionate and excited I love how she said she is not Mozart she is littel alma and she is right.
Woah, for a 9 year old, her English is mind boggling! And her talent is amazing!
Nipun Tewari wait she’s 9?! Sorry if the video mentions it - I haven’t watched the whole thing yet
Nipun Tewari I should hope her English is good given she is English 😂
Nipun Tewari in the video she was 11
It is pleasant to see a very intelligent and happy young lady with a bright future, it gives me hope for the world of my grandchildren.
absolutely
Ohhhh... come on. She isn't like other kids. Most kids aren't white, have filthy rich parents and have already a scholarship by the time they finish HS.
absoftitanium Her father is not a "college professor" he is a rich Israeli linguist, an honorary research fellow of the University of Manchester and a former Professor at the Department of Language and Culture of Ancient Mesopotamia of the Dutch University of Leiden. She is from a very wealthy and privileged family. Very few children can relate to this sort of kid.
+XtaticApollo She does the best with what she's got. You do nothing. Luck had no effect on her. Doesn't define her. Definitely does define you.
If very few children can relate to this 'sort of kid' , it has nothing to do with her background, whatever it may be, it is because Alma is quite exceptional in ways that most children (or adults) are not.
Alma means soul in portuguese and that is how she plays, with her soul. Wonderful!
Maria Antonieta Nobre also in spanish
Maria Antonieta Nobre yes I love her name too.
Maria Antonieta Nobre alma is a word in Hebrew🤦♂️.
Her father is a Jewish israeli
i thought alma was a mormon or jewish name? maybe im very wrong i don't know
Alma in hungary means apple and it's a little wierd that the girl is called "alma"
I just love to hear her talk! So enthusiastic and expressive and original :-)
Precocious is by far an understatement to describe her to be honest. Just seems like Im looking at a very old soul in this young body.
MaverickArrowMusik -
"a very old soul in this young body."
Got it in one !!
And, paradoxically, it's that 'oldness' which accounts for both her maturity AND her youthfulness (which will never quite desert her - even in advanced old age).
What a joy it is to hear her talk and play.........................Balm for the Soul.
She's incredibly mature for her age. She speaks like an adult would.
i agree. when i listen to her, i feel like im reading a historical romance novel with princesses, duchess, ladies..
1:56 RIP headphones.
She’s so young and she can speak so well I should learn from her
SHE'S A GREAT ADVERT FOR HOME SCHOOLING, AND HER PARENTS ARE ACADEMICS TOO, SO THE GENETICS MUST HELP. WATCH THE ONE HOUR BBC TV DOCUMENTARY ''IMAGINE'' ON YOU TUBE.
I just love the way she is. A bright light with a lovely character and verry smart. I'm following het for quit some time now, but time seems to have no grip on her. She growing up so slowly that I almost wish I could speed up time to see what's in store for us because I think she will do some great things. It amasses me that there aren't more people who know her. After all she already made some amassing music and is a great improviser.
Neelix99 slowly? Alma seems super mature and well balance, considering all the pressures of success.
She's well known alright--in the Classic music circles. and most other circles now. I only discovered her after watching a BBC late night (repeat) TV documentary about her life , with great video of her family and home life.
@@MrDaiseymay is there a link to it?
She reminds me of Hermione.
Shuuto Akira exactly.......
😂emma watson? Now she looks like..
Luan Carlos Videos her mind is like hermione 😂
I just thought of that. Hahahaha... 😄😄😄
She is way more intelligent than Hermione
Wow, this child is amazing
Love Alma's music. And it's good to she she's rejecting the whole "next Mozart" label, unlike Emily Bear who said "I like Mozart because he's kind of like me and I'm kinda like him"
Holy heck, I'm so jealous of her talent!
WHAT A FANTASTIC MUSIC GENIUS SHE IS !! BEST OF LUCK FOR A GREAT CAREER YOUNG LADY !! BLESS HER ...
tears of joy and gratitude. beautiful.
I'm a dancer and I think someone should totally make an entire ballet using her music
Me too, she should for example, cooperate with some theatre and ballerinas!!! :)
Her vocabulary is really impressive. She possesses a higher level of vocal articulation then the average American adult. Her musical talents touch deep and are moving and inspiring.
Can we take a moment to realise how amazing her English skills her as well.
Her german and hebrew are not bad either.
Amazing, such a focused & intelligent young person. I'm glad she had parents able to recognize her abilities & provide the early education to develop them.
Yes--they were as amazed at their little daughter's questions about music, as anyone else. They simply encouraged her best they could.
Alma Deutscher - LOVE this lovely little lady.
Absolutely amazing! Such a talent! And you can hear the intelligence when she speaks! A very bright prodigy indeed! I hope great things happen for her and look forward to the day when a huge compilation of her improvisations is available (unless it alread is... is it?).
What a talented and well spoken girl! Excellent.
Truly amazing!
Her voice was refreshing
Wow!!! She is so gifted!! Amazing!!
Amazing little girl! How remarkable
Great Alma! Flow more tunes!
She's so lovely my God
My clarinet teacher is playing in her US premiere and said she’s an amazing violinist
How did your clarinet teacher find the rehearsals and concert with Alma? And what a lovely privilege to have played along with her.
Such an old soul. Amazing little girl
she speaks like a 50 year old
Its like she was BORN a genius!!! Truly a God given talent
she amazing
What a lovely interview!!
She’s really humble
In October, 2019, Alma, now 14 yrs old, is going to recieve the "Newcomer Prize" at the European Culture Prize award ceremony at the Vienna State Opera. In December, she is going to be appearing at Carnegie Hall in New York City in a concert of her own compositions with the Orchestra of St. Luke's under the baton of renowned conductor Jane Glover. Alma will be performing her own violin and piano concerti and the orchestra will be playing selections from her opera, "Cinderella" as well as her new concert waltz, "Siren Sounds."
This is INTERESTING
Her English is better than most American adults' English... No one in the States articulates like this... Sigh...
but she is not British,if I'm not mistaken?!
Nahid Santiago
No she isn't. Her accent is clearly Eastern European. But she was partially brought up in England, if I'm not mistaken.
+Indigo Osmanthus Sounds German/Austrian to me.
Her mother is British, father is Israeli. Alma speaks both languages
Her mother is an English Jew her father is an Israeli Jew, she speaks Hebrew and English, and her accent is a very clear Dorking accent. There is not a hint of any other language in her speech.
Her mind is so alive, she seems so awake as a human being, completely engaged in her life. It's remarkable to see, although it makes you feel dull and jaded.
I am stunned!! She is incredible!
Awesome work! I loved hearing that 😊
She is a delightful girl with a mind of a genius. Charming personality too which is rare these days when one sees more musicians with an ego first before anything.
I started walking when I was 2.
Started running when I was 3.
And they told me I was SO smart.
I love her accent! She is so talented... a true child prodigy
When I was 2 I couldn't even walk let alone play the piani
4. Starts composing
3. Plays violin
2. Plays piano but she doesnt know she is improvising
1. Cant play piano because of physical limitations *she had to wait for body parts to form
Little Alma big talent and lovely.
She is like a litlle Hermione Granger(just with music)
What a Sweet and beautiful child, just makes you want to protect her from anyone who might change the way she views the world and therefore damage her gift
amazing..
Such an eloquence .. Did she write the libretto for her opera as well?
yes, I believe she did.
She is so sweet
She is terribly gifted
Amazing and very eloquent girl. She speaks with adults like an adult.
how charming she is... ^^
thanks
I’m 49 years old ....but I love you....I look forward to your career and will be watching closely....i play guitar and I’m into jazz in a big way and would really like to see you explore that route as your improv skills would shine in that genre. Listen to Stephan Grapelli as he was the master. And he played with Yehudi Menduin who I’m sure your aware of. Good luck Padwan
I started playing violin at 2 but I quit for piano at 3 and made up little tunes as I grew but Im 15 now and I'm still not even close to her 😭😭 life ain't fair
Keep being inspired and feeling the joy of your music and it will come.
Mozart!? No way she is fresh to Classical music! We will see her evolution as one of the greatest composers of this era. She is creating with the instruments she dominate so bit by bit she will get to the Bartok size orchestra. She is not searching for the philosophical and technical aspects of music. She is like the greats, Mozart for example, looking after the beauty of music and it's redemptive quality. We need her, we need her pure heart to be translated into sound, texture and melodies. With her pure passion she has brought Hope to the musical world when sound became a window for the soul of youth in this strange devaluated 21st century. ¡Viva la música!¡Gracias Alma!
Brilliant
lov this :)
Though I adore her music, Mozart is one of the few I wouldn't compare Alma with. I feel that she compares favourably with many of the other greats!
If you can't take the GREATEST delight in this beautiful young lady ('little girl' doesn't fit, somehow), in her unforced charm, her amazing talent, and her accomplishments thus far, then I suggest you pay an urgent visit to either a) a priest, or b) a psychologist, or c) a hearing specialist.
You CERTAINLY need at least ONE of them.......................
marvinc999 or you just are sick if her attitude and know that what she's doing isn't as amazing as people think
i know what she means by saing she is a little alma but her melodies really really remind me of mozart or at least the piano pieces
You are a little genious and because of that we call you little Mozart. Off course you are unique. You are a little alma :3 i love you alma. You're really the genious born one time each 250 years
I love her accent
the only thing alma shares with mozart is musical genius, mozart was a also a renegade who liked to shock people with vulgar language and unrefined behavior, he also bucked the church and royalty patronage system and ventured into earning a living as an independent musician, unfortunately the timing was a little early in that the burgeoning bourgeoisie renaissance was only beginning and not able to support professional artists like mozart.
alma seems to be very happy and content, and able to focus all her time on her profession.
i N t E r E s T i N g
wow
If you can compose something slowly, you can compose it quickly.
I didn't think the BBC liked people with lots of money
The BBC likes people who does stuff. Sitting behind a computer and judging does not qualify as a 'skill'.
Sansa Beaches Take a joke lol. How do you know I have no skill?
(Also it's "who do stuff" not "who does stuff")
Thanks for the correction. It just didn't sound like a joke. I don't get how a child could be responsible for what her parents are.
Sansa Beaches The joke was more based on the BBCs left-wing tendencies
And money plays into this how?
Random comments too funny LMAO
That being said, she's so talented!!!
lmao I love this she just waves a skipping rope around as her thinking process
nothing 'supernatural,' just a distraction from things around her, so she can concentrate on her musical thoughts
Alma means soul in spanish
She speaks like a genius
When I was a kid her age, I watch dragon balls then find my energy and imagine that I'm a super saiyan
Someone get this girl a DAW pronto 🔥
You are the last genius of our generation
You are incredible
Mozart Reunited
fuck, her vocabulary is outstanding.
For those less well- informed journalists, Mozart was quite a mathematician ;Alma on the other hand , by her own admission isn't. Moreover, Mozart was also able to conceive a whole symphony in his head and flawlessly write it down faster than a professional copyist !
Both composers I admire enormously.
Ok well I started playing the kazoo at 1 month old
and they still continue the Mozart comparison
Is she going to the Menuhin Competitions too??
That's 'INTERESTING'
So it's been like 6 years. What is her life like now?
Meanwhile, we have to warn other kids not to eat tide pods.
💀
No one will ever be a little Mozart!
*I* *N* *T* *E* *R* *E* *S* *T* *I* *N* *G*
Su hermana pequeña tiene igual o más talento.
Am I a prodigy i never played a instrument before but once I saw a saxophone I played like a professional same with the piano learned it in under 2 min
Interesting...
And she can speak perfect English 😂😂
Her speech is better than mine and I'm 12
I’m going for grade 3 violin but I’ve never done grade 1 & 2! 😩😩😩😩 Help me!! I’ve only ever done grades on my trombone lol
WHAT A LITTLE DARLING SHE IS---IN EVERY WAY.
Philip Croft please stop, you're everywhere in this comment section and it's quite annoying
When you start composing, there is no way to stop stream of music ideas in your head, its like voices inside head of crazy man, only way to stop it is write it...
You have huge potential, but you can only dream about Mozart level :)
