I would prefer to be the first Alma than to be a second Mozart!
- 13 years old Alma.
A profound statement at any age-genius for 13 yrs old
She's absolutely fantastic, but Mozart is a "little" stretch. Mozart died in his 30's with 600 works which influenced all musicians afterwards. Including Her.
Fenômeno
I have watched a number of videos of young musical prodigies over the years. Inevitably in the comments, you will find people who raise concern for whether these children are being used by their parents and whether they are allowed to have any kind of a normal childhood. The first thing that struck me about this amazing young lady was how in charge she was. She is obviously quite comfortable explaining her vision, and instructing adult musicians how to help her achieve it. She is also so joyful about her music that it is quite a joy to watch her.
I think some of those adult musicians
will need therapy!🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
She is just not aware of those MANY similarly gifted people who have left her hopelessly behind by now. What jhappens when she discovers her true place?
Ont of them -
ua-cam.com/video/FapaI1bxH2s/v-deo.html
@@svetavinogradova4243 I think she has discovered her true place long ago: as a composer. Her piano and violin skills are supportive. Someday that great young pianist will interpret Alma's compositions.
I think she came into this life with a clear mission and knows how big the job is she has in front of her, so got started on it with pure joyful enthusiasm and dedication from the start.
And now this lady is completely self-absorbed, talks to everyone as if they were all toddlers, and her channel immediately blocks any critical remarks. A typical prodigy story.
I wasn’t alive to see the splendid coronation of Mozart’s genius as a young lad , but I’m here for Alma’s
Sorry but this only goes to show that people don't understand how genius Mozart's music is. Using an alberti bass together with a melody doesn't make you Mozart.. The proportions, the imaginative orchestration, variational technique, perfect balance, etc. is what makes Mozart Mozart. Not to mention that he was the FIRST to do it, making it innovative.
She is so blessed to have supportive parents to get her to start so young.
To support her genius she inherently had inside her!
@@louisegogel7973 u r so right...this soul chose her parents, otherwise she hadn t had the oppurtunity to unfold her genius....
So true!
As he said, her father was a very good teacher when she was first learning.
no, its not only parents,such a talent is a gift (perhaps from god)!
I cannot recommend her composition, Siren Sounds, enough. It is such a beautiful masterpiece.
i just finished sobbing to that one hahaha
You misread her comment. She said she cannot recommend it ENOUGH, which means that she HIGHLY RECOMMENDS it. Reading comprehension is FUNDAMENTAL! 😉👍
Agreed such a beautiful composition the melody is a beautiful waltz.
@@Ravenelvenlady Apparently no one recommended enough the importance of an education.
Her parents are both Oxford Professors. She is educated beside music. She reads a hundred books a year.
I’ve watched every you tube video on alma . She is a revelation. I can’t wait to see what she continues to achieve.
This is proof that many parts of the brain stay dormant for most, but are born awake for few. She is beyond a prodigy...she is Beauty personified in the form of the Universe condensed into a nature of human. She'll never have to get back to the garden... as she is "the garden." Marvin Hamlisch had a similar gift. At a very young age he would play all the music his sister learned during her piano lesson, note for note... and play it in every key. He knew nothing about the piano. If there is ever a current sign of hope for the redemption of the human spe- cies (who's been molesting "Mother Earth" to the point of mutation)... "ALMA" is it. She is pure stardust. She need not have her brain tested, pictured or analyzed. She only needs to do what makes her happy- release and share her music. Perhaps the world will learn a lesson about the true sense of harmony.
She has been learning conducting in Vienna. She will be conducting CINDERELLA in San Jose soon.
This is happening in our lifetime, how exciting!
When she stops the orchestra from rehearsal to state how it's suppose to sound. She's so brilliant
This type of talent is so absolutely incredible. It’s not only her talent of playing the instruments she plays, but the composing is surreal. Hearing her play just makes me smile!
It's the total package with this young lady that amazes me; the playing, the composing and along with everything else, the maturity. It's almost too hard for me to believe that she's only 12 in this segment.
She just moves me to tears with her wisdom and connection to the worlds of music.
She has no choice. I hope her gift continues to make her this happy. She has the right parents to allow her to be truly herself.
This Young Lady is beyond prodigy and redefining creativity on her perspective.
I always say prodigy is the term used to describe the artists that are one step below Alma.
Besides immense talent she has exceptional logic. Truly a gift to this world!
WOW, she is fantastic! How lucky we all are to have her!
There are no words that adequately describe Alma and her creative abilities.
she seems extremely smart as well as talented and socially intelligent as well.
This is the happiest I have been in all the documentaries I've watched. I've seen her short impromptu clip before. I'm happy she is now composing and so full pf wit and life. I will buy her CDs, I must !!! 💿📀🎻🎹❤️
I love her first album, every single piece. Her music is soothing like a balm. That's all I know.
This is absolutely incredible. I am speechless here
Overwhelming...on her way to immortality. What a joy to be alive to see and hear her perform❤
She is clearly connected to angels… composing along side them when and if she needs advice from them.. wow
I used to wonder how Schubert wrote all those notes in a tavern. Did he sit there wondering what came next? Now I can understand that the music came to his conscious mind and he "just" had to write it down. Alma is a genius too. I can only hope she's just allowed to develop at her own pace, if and only if she wants to, and to live as she wishes rather than being pressured to live up to the expectations of others
I think Alma has been the leader in her own life all along, and does the leading with fun, joy, clarity, humbleness, and love, which wins over those who touch her life.
What a beautifully uplifting tale. Nice to see this again.
Amazing little girl. This is a gift her brain is wired for music. You can see how as she plays although she is pushing the keys her being is along for the ride she is carried along through this wonderful journey of creativity.
Oh whoa what a magnificent talent. I wish her the very best, and can’t wait to see what she composes next. I hope the adults in her life take note of what she said regarding all the composers in her head.
Keep a close eye on her, watch for things becoming too much for her, and pull her back out of the limelight to rest and recharge. Teach her how to quiet her mind so that she doesn’t become overwhelmed, but not so hard as to squash her creativity. Such talented minds can be very fragile. Shine Alma, shine brightly ! ❤️
She is a happy joyful kid...that is most important...
"I think I would prefer to be the first Alma, then to be a second Mozart". Yeah she is going to go far...
*Alma
@@louisvalencia5244 God bless
She didn't say... "then to be". She said "than to be..."
She's mesmerising, an incredible young lady.
Love her take on Cinderella.
Alma is a unique being who is and will continue to being joy to this world for this and future generations.
only 13.09 minutes on this amazing beautiful musician? ? Incredible but so joyful to watch. She's going to continue making people happy.
1 hour long docu by BBC here: ua-cam.com/video/e8KNEqKp3Nw/v-deo.html
@@taon2004 Thank you so much. Have a great weekend
You can pay to see the whole thing from CBS
That's an interesting aspect that she has a whole cabinet of composers, in her mind that she can access if she needs assistance. I've not heard that explanation before. You have to admire her talent though.
Absolutely amazing. She has a wonderful gift. I don't mean to take away from her but we, in this country, had someone just as amazing. He was once a young man, who started on piano, and would later teach himself 27 different instruments. My all time favorite artist. His name was Prince. Damn, how I miss him so! Peace.
I thought the same thing! RIP
Prince, who abused young women?
@@maddannafizz- Hell NO! The musician ! A true musical genius. Peace.
What an amazing young girl/ I follow her on UA-cam and never tire of listening to her beautiful music being played
She is a phenom to be sure- even her parents appear amazed
What a legacy she’s destined to leave behind and years from now people will be listening and playing music by ALMA
21 st century composer musician extraordinaire
Like the light of a new dawn, this special young prodigy brings Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento back to our world..Alma's light shines and fills the world.
Lovely kid. She crackles with enthusiasm and charm. Now I've got to look up more of her music.
she is 18, so hardly a kid. She is very patronising and in love with herself, I find. Is it good?
Alma Deustcher is now one of my favorite composer, I am instated in Transcribing the 3rd Movement of Alma’s piano sonata for recorder and piano.
She moves me to tears.
I look forward to her growing into being an important musical composer as she also becomes a more mature and complex person. She is delightful and amazing.
In our time we have been given the gift of Alma. How amazing is that?!?! Meanwhile, I'm 53 and can barely walk and talk at the same time, lol.
Truly wonderful Alma is one cosmic lass with a brain doing it's greatest to show the inticacies of what could be happening across the globe if children were appreciated more and allowed to become equally so educated....... Alma you are amazing.................thankyou🙂
Other children also get appreciated, and quite many of them left Alma far behind in technique, they also write music but do not show it.
Oh, dear Alma, I do love all your melodies! Thank you a lot!
Please stay safe with your lovely sister and your parents.
God bless you and your family.
Lots of love from Heidelberg ❤️!
alles an ihr und von ihr ist wundervoll. Hoffe es kommt noch vieles von ihr.
Alma, you are one of a kind! Not only talented, but a delight!
What an amazing child !
So happy for the young lady, that’s what life and living is all about. I can’t believe people disliked this miracle.
What a pretty, very charming, talented, unprecoscious, young lady....and what a lovely aura she gives out....it matches Her beautiful, natural music. This is one truly Amazing young Lady!
Charming documentary.Thankyou for explaining what a cadenza is.
Bravo ... bravo .... applause ... applause ... thank you 60 minutes for this magnificent video!!! :-)
Amazing. it's almost like she is in a trance, even her pupils are so dilated like she is in a constant state of bliss. so great.
I noticed that as well. It would be magnificent if our youth realizes how tremendous it is to be your own person. What a cultured child. Her parents must be beaming. 💎
@@contenderbp It would be magnificent if kids were forced to learn the arts these days. Taking that out of our schools is a real tragedy.
@@WayPastCrazy2525 Agreed. Which administration eliminated funding for the arts in public school?
@@contenderbp US schools are locally funded - local taxpayers eliminated or reduced arts funding.
@JC Michal: It's called demonic indwellings.
You noticed it; yet perhaps are not
aware of how prevalent this is.
Trance state/dilated pupils/bliss.
I'd say you have a thread of medical insights
God Bless 🙌
The angel of music resides in her 😇
She's adorable. Quite a gifted musician.
Alma said she doesn't remember the improvisations she does but machines do. Bravo.
Debussy also played many improvisations that were never saved.
08:54 ✨ Robert Gjerdingen is professor of music at Northwestern in Chicago. He has been a consultant to Alma’s education.
09:02 🎶 I sent her some assignments when she was six.. seven, where I expected her to crash and burn, because they were very difficult. It came back. It was like listening to a mid eighteenth century composer!
09:19 🎶 She was a native speaker!!
✨ A native speaker?
09:22 🎶 It’s her first language. She speaks the Mozart style. She speaks the style of Mendelsohn .
09:28 ✨ And the names you just mentioned are the ones that lived for centuries.
09:34 🎶 Yes. She’s batting in the big leagues, and if you win the pennant, there’s immortality!
12:03 ✨ I usually don’t ask people your age this question, but what have you learned about life?
12:12 🤍 Well, I know that life is not always beautiful, that there’s also ugliness in the world. That’s why I’ve learned that I want to write beautiful music, because I want to make the world a better place. 🤍
12:25 ✨ We cannot know how Alma Deutscher channels her music like a portal in time. But in a world too often ugly, and too often overburdened with explanation, it is nice to take a moment and wonder.
Alma Deutscher is a gift of pure joy to this world! Thank you for this wonderful interview of our beloved young joyous composer, and Alma thank you for sharing just being you!
🤍✨🎶✨🤍
You mean: Robert Gjerdingen
He has written a textbook on compositional methods used in 18th century, which she also uses the same techniques, and that is the secret to her composing, however at 12:25 the low-intellectual-capacity 60 Minutes interviewing journalist can't comprehend "how she does what she does" because he is not even smart enough to know what questions to ask a smart person.
@@superblondeDotOrg Thank you for the spelling correction. I am changing it now.
@@louisegogel7973 Gjerdingen teaches Partimento technique and the exercises he sent her must have been Counterpoint exercises with some famous (i.e. well known, ancient) cantus firmus in the bass. Probably his comment "thought she would crash and burn" is extreme hyperbole, because if she studied that material previously, then she would be able to get the right answers to his homework assignments without difficulty. What most music students consider "extremely difficult" are actually just straightforward problems no more difficult than a differential equation problem in math, which other types of students (like STEM majors) do 100's and 100's of problems of in their normal course of study during a single semester of school. But again the dork journalist was not smart enough to ask that question and the video editor probably edited-out the real information so the news segment would be 'more dramatic' about her level of skills.
@@superblondeDotOrg Lol, you assume that all people are good at math! I did best in Calculus, but my eyes glazed over when you mentioned Differential Equations.
Then I looked up what they were, all sorts of variables to find solutions ... and those are not easy or straight forward to many people, and it takes me time to think them through... math was my lowest point of understanding, so Alma being able to do those exercises and people easily doing differential equations are both equally impressive to me!
lolol
@@louisegogel7973 Do a web search for this. "The Myth of the Composer-Genius: Part I 3/4/2019".
The resolution is always Practice, practice, practice, on the correct material, with the correct teaching methodology and Gjerdingen's materials seem to be an excellent example of how to learn to compose like Deutscher. Yes, she seems very smart, but a normal person can ALSO achieve some level of her of composition skills, with Practice, practice, practice and focus. (Just like anyone can achieve some level of math differential equation skills with practice, practice, practice and focus.)
Stupid 60 Minutes interviewer will not explain the true background of her skills, even though it is their job to do so.
Incredible young lady! What a talented and gifted girl!!! Very amazing!
Bravo, Alma! I can't wait to see how your journey unfolds. 💙🧡💙
Belíssimo! Lindo demais!
This is magical, she's a wonder! 😍
Natural ability, tons of practice, or maybe something else entirely. Whatever the case, she is remarkable.
That was Beautiful !! May you have a long and prosperous career, Alma !
Alma is True Angel of Future Music 🎶👼🏻
I never get bored listening to her Music
No matter how many times I listen to her music it always feels new and fresh exiting and relaxing and extremely Soulful, Music that goes. Straight to the Heart as it comes Straight from her Heart/Soul 💞 that moves me every time.
Thanks a lot for airing this again.
~ OneLove 🕊
The way she speaks, the "accent", reminds me of Jaqueline Dupre.
Bravo! Very well said! "I would rather be called the First Alma instead of the Second Mozart!! WELL DONE, YOUNG LADY, WELL DONE! 🥰😻😎👍
People like Alma are gifts to humanity, enjoy.
She's absolutely a beautiful young girl, who is "enjoying" music watch her when she is playing some intricate phrases.
In her 4 note composing video i sensed a very matured musicians mind, mozart's name did pop up, i swear, it's not something that is made up after watching this video. Alma is here to accomplish some unfinished business. Its said in the past in Indian mystic life that reincarnation is a process of the soul, we keep coming back to complete the purpose of our life. I guess that's what Alma is about on...
Would love to meet Mozart / Alma. God works in mysterious ways and this should be one of his/her most beautiful, close to heart project.
She is a gift to all of us.
... absolutely breathtaking ... she's done this before ...
Underneath Alma's genius is the resurrection of a style of teaching perfected in the famous musical orphanages of Venice and Naples, and harshly suppressed in the 20th century. To learn more google: Partimento. She is truly a prodigy of the old, and wonderful school.
Alma is adorable. What astonishes me is that she is so in touch with the unreal world. She brings that world to us. May God protect her from cynicism. Go forth, Alma, and make the world a beautiful place because we so, so need it right now. We’re just too grown up to see the possibilities….
The mysteries of the human mind. Absolutely amazing.
This is AWESOME. Some of us heard those notes early in our heads and then put them into dance also. Life in it's greatest form and kudos to people who are gifted with great imagination and can express themselves well beyond on their years. Simply stated been there, done that and want to share it. YES YES YES!!!! Great job Alma. Keep doing what you are doing!!!!! We like to hear it.
Alma is absolutely adorable. However she is very happy to have parents which are capable to guide and support, unlike the parents of other famous composers, who mainly tried to make lot’s of money from the talents of there children.
All found a gifted to compose and play their favorite classical music
Wow! Thank you, this was wonderful!
Even Scott Pelley cannot resist being a little schmaltzy here. For a quite non-schmaltzy interview, see the video, "Matt spricht mit Deutscher." In that, Gerald Matt also manages to establish a good rapport with her. Alma Deutscher is quite nicely professional in both interviews.
What an excellent interviewer Scott Pelley is!
11.53 little Helen just casually climbs up the rope to the tree house, which is about 2-3 times her height 😳👏
These girls are also fit and strong!!
Almost brings a year, it's so beautiful.
she is pushing back hard against her contemporaries.......and i love it!!!!
Amazing to witness profound giftedness.
Just amazing. Wow!
What a time to be alive!
Amazing child! What a Gift to this World!
Alma is so very precious
Speechless.
She must be a ' Reborn ' sole, truly blessed,
The scene where Alma walks around, casually singing is wonderful.. ❤
However, I hope she is able to relax.
I get the impression that this IS the way she relaxes!
@@jenniebugs1 if so, that's not good.
@@kikiu2619 why not? I think she switches back and forth between her imaginary world and real life. Nothing wrong with it. She is a very special girl.
Brava Alma! I hope to see you perform live someday!
Anyone else notice the size of her pupils? And that's with bright production lights in her face... The music is amazing
i was just wondering the same thing and searching the comments to see if anyone else had. i wonder if it's a trait of her highly receptive nervous system.
drugs..
Wow !!...speechless !
"I would prefer to be a first Alma than a second Mozart!"- Alma D. ..Indeed Alma....indeed, and so you are the first Alma. Well put well done!
Well, no Mozart
Alma is remarkable Alma is beautiful. An absolutely delightful human being.
Imagine having the gift without the support. I love humans. ❤️ Brilliant 👏.
My biggest wish is, that Alma one day writes a cadenza for Mozarts Piano Concerto No. 20, K. 466. I would purchase the cd in a hartbeat.
This girl is my new HERO!!
😲😲😲Amazing!! What a gift
I am just now watching this video in 2023 and I'm absolutely crushed to hear that Alma's debut U.S. performance was at the California Theater, just two blocks from my house in downtown San Jose. If I had known I could have literally walked over to see her perform 😬😮. Why didn't I hear about this before!?
remembers talent fom other lifetime
Gonna be a fan for life!!!! 😳
🎹 AMAZING 🎻
I bet prince always had melodies popping in his head
Well done, Alma ! ---------Stay with it , you make our sad world, so much better with your music.-------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
