万花筒 2012-10-28&10-31 英国7岁音乐神童 天才超越莫扎特

 Finally tonight, as of right now, 300,000 people have searched out a tiny young girl causing a big stir. A prodigy¹ doing something reminiscent of another little kid called Mozart. ABC's Nick Shifren is with the newest child wonder. 

Like so many child prodigies², her playing is perfect, her sound is serene³, but before 7-year-old Alma Deutscher's feet reach the floor, she's already written this. 

An opera, composed for an entire string orchestra, praised by the best opera house in Great Britain. 

I have the thing when I was very young,and it is all mysterious.

She isn't just reading music, she's writing as she goes, all in proposition of the top of her head. How gifted is she? Well, almost already a year ahead of another prodigy you might recognize. Mozart could play and name notes at three,. Alma could do that at two. Mozart was first writing at five, Alma was four. 

Now over the years, we've seen some extraordinary children, Umi Garret was 8, Brianna Kahane 7, and pant size Jonathan Okseniuk conducting at just 4, augury⁴ performers, but Alma is a great composer, and some said she writes with the same quality as Mozart when he was the same age. 

I can't think of anybody quite this young, this is really remarkable⁵, she just lives and breathes music.

I'm writing a chain of sonata⁶ now, but it hasn't finished yet. 

More than 300,000 people have now discovered her online. This young composer's melodies creating so much happiness and she's only 7.
