  • Here is another improvisation I did in Vienna a few months ago. It was during an encore after a concert I conducted with the Strauss Capelle Vienna at the Konzerthaus. Some day I will work on this improvisation to improve it and turn it into a proper piece.

    What a privilege to see this in action. When Alma was younger I used to think "Oh, I hope none of those older musicians playing with her will be jealous of her".
    Today I understand none will. There's nothing to be jealous off because none of us could be Alma Deutscher no matter how hard we work. This is something one is born with and it only happens once in several generations. And I'm so happy to live in this generation and to see this giant talent revealing itself more and more.
