DIA memainkan piano dan biola sama indahnya dan telah membuat komposisi opera, padahal usianya barulah tujuh tahun. Jadi tidaklah mengherankan apabila pencinta musik klasik membandingkan Alma Deutscher dengan Mozart.
Sementara Mozart membuat komposisi musik pada usia lima tahun dan telah menulis lebih 600 karya, dia meninggal pada 1791 di usia 35.
Para siswi Surrey memiliki channel khusus di YouTube untuk mempertontonkan kehebatan mereka.
Alma tinggal di dekat Dorking bersama orangtuanya Guy, 43, seorang pakar bahasa dan Janie, 39, seorang akademisi.
Ayahnya mengakui, bahwa putrinya telah mampu mencoret-coret pada usia dua tahun dan menerima biola pertamanya pada perayaan ulang tahun ketiga.
Dalam satu tahun, ia bermain Handel. Videonya membuktikan bahwa dia mampu membawakan karya-karya besar dari komposer Schubert, Haydn dan Mozart sendiri.
Fakta paling mengesankan adalah rekaman video yang memperlihatkan Alma memainkan karyanya sendiri, yang ditulisnya untuk piano dan biola.
Belajar musik di rumah melalui home schooling tiap pekan, Alma mendapat pelatihan dari Yehudi Menuhin School di Cobham, Surrey.
Rekaman videonya di YouTube telah dikunjungi 75 ribu kali dan memiliki lebih 250 pelanggan.
Awal tahun ini, Alma menyusun sebuah opera singkat yang diberi judul The Sweeper of Dreams, dan telah didaftarkan untuk mengikuti kompetisi yang digelar oleh English National Opera untuk mencari bakat musisi klasik usia belia.
"Saya ingin orang tahu bagaimana saya bermain musik," kata Alda kepada Independent seperti dikutip Daily Mail. Dia menambahkan, ingin menulis seperti Mozart, memainkan biola seperti Perlman dan bermain piano seperti Barenboim.
SHE plays the piano and violin beautifully and has already composed an opera, all at the age of seven. So it´s no wonder that classical music lovers are comparing Alma Deutscher with Mozart.
Mozart was composing pieces by the age of five, which he played to his father Leopold who wrote them down. He went on to compose more than 600 works. He died in 1791, aged 35.
The Surrey schoolgirl has her own YouTube channel to show her ability.
Alma lives near Dorking with her parents Guy, 43, a linguist and amateur flautist, and Janie, 39, an academic.
Her father has revealed that she could name the notes on a piano by the age of two, and she received her first violin for her third birthday.
Within a year, she was playing Handel. Her videos prove that she has gone on to master works by composers including Schubert, Haydn and Mozart himself.
Arguably most impressive is the footage showing Alma playing her own work, which she has written for piano and violin.
The home-schooled seven-year-old now has weekly piano and violin lessons at the Yehudi Menuhin School in Cobham, Surrey
The YouTube channel has attracted more than 75,000 views and has more than 250 subscribers.
Earlier this year, Alma composed a short opera called The Sweeper of Dreams, which she entered into a competition run by the English National Opera to find young classical musicians.
´I want people to know how I play,´ Alda told the Independent, adding that when she is older she wants to ´compose like Mozart, play the violin like Perlman and play the piano like Barenboim´.
