MEET LITTLE MISS MOZART
Most children of her age would struggle to sit through an opera. But Alma Deutscher, 7, has become a classical music sensation after her first work in this particular genre was highly praised by the English National Opera.
Videos of her work have been viewed more than 300,000 times since her father shared them on YouTube – and her abilities have led to comparisons with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who by five had mastered the keyboard and started composing. Alma wrote her own sonata at the age of six, followed by her opera, The Sweeper of Dreams, this year. She said that her best compositions are created when she is on the swing in the garden at home, but she also keeps a music scorebook by her bed for when inspiration strikes after she falls asleep. Just like the idea for this work, which came in a dream. Mr Deutscher and his wife Janie, who was an organ scholar at Oxford, moved with Alma and her four-year-old sister Helen from Oxford to Surrey so that they could be closer to the specialist Yehudi Menuhin School in Cobham, where Alma has weekly piano and violin lessons.
The rest of the time, she is taught at home, and practises and composes for between four and five hours a day. But her parents are not in favour of her taking part in competitions, and have turned down all invitations to appear on television shows. Alma, meanwhile, is working on a sonata that she was commissioned to write after performing one of her compositions brilliantly in Italy. ‘It’s not the same style as my first one,’ she explained. ‘It’s very dramatic. It’s more like Tchaikovsky than Mozart.’
When she is older, she wants a ‘big house full of instruments, all sorts of pianos and violins, violas and cellos’.
‘I don’t mind if I am famous or not, I just want to be good,’ she added.
