Most who compare Alma to Mozart have no real understanding of Mozart other than a few of his melodies or the film "Amadeus". Mozart wrote at least 41 symphonies, a few piano concertos, piano sonatas, violin sonatas, many operas, horn concertos, flute concertos, bassoon concertos, at least one oboe concerto, divertimenti and so much more. It's a vague comparison, at most. It's like saying Jackie Evancho "sings like an angel", (who knows what an angel sounds like, or whether an angel can sing?). Likewise, when they use the term "prodigy" - the term itself robs the subject of a natural passion followed by really hard work to develop their ideas - as Alma says, the ideas are easy - the development of the composition of a simple idea can take weeks, months, even years.
I have been watching and listening to Alma for the last 3 to 4 years and am grateful for continued success. I pray God protects her and her family as they travel and share their talents with all of us. Thank you.
From all your fans in Europe and world wide...... good luck Alma! Of course Alma really doesn't need it...... her genius will capture the hearts and souls of any audience fortunate enough to see or hear her perform. Alma deserves all the many accolades showered upon her and her lovely personality shines through all else. A veritable genius at violin, piano and most importantly her compositions. An English Treasure to marvel and rejoice with!
It bothers me to see so many people angry at the comparison of Mozart, Alma herself does not want to be compared to Mozart. That having been said, I could probably guess the negative people probably don't have a talented bone in their body. This girl is a genius with an incredible personality to boot.
@Comedia Divina After this she sold out her Carnegie Hall concert, added performances to her Cinderella Opera in San Jose. Recently she has moved to Vienna and is working on a commissioned Opera there. Carnegie and Cinderella are available on disc.
Beautiful fourteen-year-old English rose Alma Deutscher is truly a very talented musical prodigy of the highest level as she actually composes her own original classical and operatic music since the age of three. I agree with Alma that she is The First Alma and not the Second Mozart. I find it fascinating that she can write the music score for every instrument within the orchestra which seems to be very challenging as you deal with so many facets of the music within your mind.
It’s easier to do that if you hear it scored for Orchestra in your head. She had to change the harp part when she found out that a harpist couldn’t physically perform that segment.
she *is* the real deal. we've had musical prodigy's but alma is different in that she writes beautiful music, and it's been improving with age. and i wouldn't be surprised to learn her iq is off the charts as well, she is naturally brilliant in more than just music, her understanding of writing, stories, and life are pretty remarkable for a pre-teen. alma was writing music when most of us are learning to tie our shoes.
Her friend, Amira Willighagen, just graduated high school as a Valedictorian. Alma couldn’t do that as she was educated at home by her parents, two Oxford Professors. She reads about a hundred books a year.
She has been studying conducting in Vienna. CINDERELLA is returning to San Jose somewhat revised under her baton. Recently, the CINDERELLA lead in Salzburg fell ill with no replacement. Alma played the role in German on three hours notice.
This startling young composer can't be the first Alma - she is the second Alma, at least in music history. Alma Schindler (1879-1964) was a composer and Mahler's wife. But Mahler disapproved of her continuing to compose music. She became depressed due to artistic stifling. After Mahler's death (he had belatedly started to encourage her), she married Franz Werfel and was a muse to artistic men. Leonard Bernstein, who rescued Mahler's music from oblivion, considered her a living link to her late husband. Today's Alma Deutscher has the good fortune to grow up at a time when everyone encourages her composing and the fact that she is a woman is secondary to the fact that she is so young. One can hardly wait to see how she develops!
Two excellent concertos that are easy to listen to over and over. And two operas full of interesting music and song. All by the age of 12. How can anybody complain??
Akane Cortich I believe there's a fella by the name of violinaccordian who would be happy to complain. You know how bright lights sometimes attract flys
Roger that! The state of the arts (including music) in America is in critical condition. Let's hope the impressive talents of Laura Bretan, Jackie Evancho, Emily Bear and our Brit friends like Alma and Jonathan can help rescue music from the cess pool it's fallen into!
the main reason for the Mozart comparison is she is the first composer to display similar skills, though she is slightly ahead. Alma - understood musical scales - age 3 Mozart - age 4; Alma could compose on paper age 4: Mozart age 5. Alma plays both Violin & Piano to a professional level - Mozart could play both Violin & Piano to a professional level. Alma composed her 1st Opera at age 7. Mozart composed his first opera at age 11. Truly - Alma is the FIRST Alma and not the 2nd Mozart.
I absolutely agree 100%! Both are geniuses at what they do, with wonderful personalities to boot. I am shortly visiting Holland from Spain to see Amira perform at her Xmas concert and in April 2018 I hope to see Alma in Vienna performing her piano concerto in full. Let's hope the weather holds out for the Xmas event!
Great! I'm attending the Fan Day too so hopefully we will bump into one another. I will be with Ray Vandenburg another diehard Amira fan and who kindly arranged the tickets etc. I'm not sure if Ray knows about Alma? Its going to be a wonderful occasion anyway. Ray sent the set list to me and its spectacular including some favorites!!
Bravo to the Americans: They - many of them, still - know Something Good when they see it, and their natural generosity of spirit and enthusiasm (of course) makes them unstinting in their praise of it. England hasn't really nurtured such musical genius - which, by definition, IS rare - since the Beatles. But, for BOTH to have happened within the space of one lifetime (mine, in this case) ain't bad !! God bless Alma. And God bless all those Americans who wish her well !
Her name is pronounced however her family prefer, even if the original German pronunciation is different from what we hear here. It is up to them to correct the presenters and fans if they want to. For the avoidance of confusion, Deutsche (doytscher) is the German for everything German, while Duche (doosher) is German for shower.
I love seeing this pure talent. Alma's performances are great, but what is truly amazing is her ability to compose. How rare is that for someone her age, let alone female! Go Alma! I just hope her parents will have the wisdom needed to balance the childhood and education she deserves with the public's desire to see and hear more from Alma.
Joan Bacon They do. She reads about a hundred books a year. And plays with her little sister and the neighborhood kids. She recognizes that she does both the kid things and the adult things she’s capable of with perfect pitch and an eidetic memory.
I think Alma is a musician and Composer all on her own. When I first had the pleasure of seeing her and hearing that intelligent and exuberant voice I was thrilled and and enchanted. Alma is her own person and a female. Brava for you, Alma
She gets compared to mozart bc 1) she's a child prodigy as a composer which is more rare and 2) she borrows the style from that era. She's not baroque or romantic but unabashedly classical
Alma Deutscher.... Sounds like Boytscher Deutschland with the Deu sounding out as doy or doi rhyming with boy. Boytschland with a D! Wonderful British young lady living now in Vienna to further compose her genius works of art in music! Thank you Alma!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉
@@joemusic2882 I'm not trying to be nor did I claim to be the youtube boss unlike Estefanía Ibáñez Reyes and her edicts that she is issuing to "stop comparing."
Although a virtuoso pianist, there are no records that suggest Mozart was a violin prodigy. On the other hand it could be safe to say that Alma is both a piano and a violin virtuoso, just like the Deutscher (die deutsche) Julia Fischer. As a composer I prefer Alma to be a Scriabin not a Mozart. We have our own musical prodigy - Jay Greenberg.
Mozart was also a violinist. His father was a violin teacher and wrote a book about violin. A number of years ago, while visiting Mozart's birth place, Alma and her sister Helen got to play on young Mozart's violins.
as young kid I was bought up listening to classical music - so much so that I always though singing ruined the music. Of course this was before I discovered operat
She is so young, It's great that she started with very classical music, in the future she is gonna expand her harmonic language and musical language in general but thanks to classical music she is gonna know how to balance modern with classical.
Just do a smidgen of research. It's not hard, really! The person above should have added that her father is from Israel and that Alma has duel citizenship in Israel and Great Britain. She also speaks both of those languages.
i apologize if this is a stupid question, but...who's mozart? zoom ahead another 250 years and another child will be saying, i'm not another deutscher, i'm me.
Of course, all of those dummies giving the tums down, had performed better, and achieved more success than Alma…. at a shorter age, and recognized as a prodigy… Man, how you dare…..
she is very very talented but she cannot be Mozart. Main reason, Mozart composed his own style. Most of her music is like typical classical composers' style, it seems like it came in phrases from the classical sonatas i have played when i was young. besides, even i was better in piano than her when i was her age. as a professional musician and composer, Emily Bear is the genius that I will credit who is the closest to Mozart.
Alma is NOT trying to be the greatest virtuoso on either instrument. Her main skill is in composition. However, to create the music, she develops a skill level equal to the selection. At some point I believe she will let others take over completely and focus on the creative side of her talents. Right now, she's just a kid having fun. Check out those smiles when she finishes a performance. Very cute.
I am discusted with her lack of basic skills to do some research, which is so easy these days. Alma is English, well known, not a latest discovery from an unknown tribe in the middle of nowhere.
[Catepilarr] Because she is of the modern culture in this country (United States) which states, why get a good education when you can slide by and still be relevant in such fields as journalism. I mean, look at the state of main stream media today.
Alma has also written a Violin Concerto at age 9 which was something Mozart wasn't to do until he was 17, also a Piano sonata at age 6 and a Piano Concerto at age 12.
CptSeagull Eight You shouldn't talk about stuff you know so little about. Can software create generic melodies and arpeggios? Sure. Doesn't mean it will be elegant and dynamic music that people will pay to hear.

Wikipedia: Comparison to Mozart[edit] Deutscher has been compared to Mozart repeatedly, although she rejects the comparison, stating that "I don't really want to be a little Mozart because then I would just compose what he has composed already. That would be boring. I want to be Alma, a little Alma."[30] Her family members do not encourage the comparison, her father stating that "...there was one Mozart in human history", and that he does not want his daughter to feel burdened by being compared to other composers.[8][33][46] look here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alma_Deutscher for more ps: I'm not a fangirl or anything. I just want to share the facts I know and which are on internet. Maybe they're not true, dunno.
A God-given talent, but is she (and those connected to her...) living for God, glorifying God with her life and words and talent, reaching the spiritually lost and telling them they need Jesus Christ to save them from their sins? If she's not, where's the value except for worldly entertainment and money to be made for her exploiters to fill up their time that could be better spent helping the poor and needy and bringing the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost so they can get saved from their sins and have eternal life? The world for the most part is going to hell but people put more value in entertainment and wickedness than in their own souls, they sell out for things that have little or no eternal value. Her talent is great and its from God to honor and glorify him and to bless others if its done according to his standards, not the worlds standards.
C.P. What has religion got to do with her wonderful talent ,she composes and arranges for a full orchestra and has a beautiful voice, note perfect ,she isn’t wasting time trying to push religion,yes she writes beautiful music that can cross all boundaries, long may she continue to show her love for good music to all and long may she continue to write it.
[C.P.] Um ok!!! If you say so!!!! Sure glad you're NOT her father though. Zealots have a way of stifling artistic genius, especially religious zealots!!!!!
Another idiotic Australian FOOLAII , nothing to do with religion. Pentecostal denominations and others should be investigated and taxed for peddling invented concepts as hell etc, to fill their coffers with illicit money! Profiting from fear!
America needs a breath of fresh air like you Alma, welcome to the US.

@Simon Simon But it wasn't dark there.
A God-given talent, but is she (and those connected to her...) living for God, glorifying God with her life and words and talent, reaching the spiritually lost and telling them they need Jesus Christ to save them from their sins? If she's not, where's the value except for worldly entertainment and money to be made for her exploiters to fill up their time that could be better spent helping the poor and needy and bringing the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost so they can get saved from their sins and have eternal life? The world for the most part is going to hell but people put more value in entertainment and wickedness than in their own souls, they sell out for things that have little or no eternal value.
Her talent is great and its from God to honor and glorify him and to bless others if its done according to his standards, not the worlds standards.
She is more likely Jewish.+Yes, she is an Israeli citizen.
C.P. What has religion got to do with her wonderful talent ,she composes and arranges for a full orchestra and has a beautiful voice, note perfect ,she isn’t wasting time trying to push religion,yes she writes beautiful music that can cross all boundaries, long may she continue to show her love for good music to all and long may she continue to write it.
[C.P.] Um ok!!! If you say so!!!! Sure glad you're NOT her father though. Zealots have a way of stifling artistic genius, especially religious zealots!!!!!
There goes another Christian-normative zealot trying to impose their dogma on somebody else.
Give it a rest, C.P.
Another idiotic Australian FOOLAII , nothing to do with religion. Pentecostal denominations and others should be investigated and taxed for peddling invented concepts as hell etc, to fill their coffers with illicit money! Profiting from fear!
