Wondering what you guys thought about this kid. Just saw something on tv about him. He's only 14. His professor at Julliard said his talent is on par with Mozart..Beethoven..nothing has come close to his skills in the last two hundred years. Here's an excerpt from the article:
"How do you react when you encounter an early compositional gift so extraordinary that you can’t even begin to comprehend it?” Zyman wrote in The Juilliard Journal in 2003. “How do you explain to others a compositional talent so exquisitely developed at such an early age that you can barely believe it yourself? What would you do if you personally met an eight-year-old boy who can compose and fully notate half a movement of a magnificent piano sonata in the style of Beethoven, before your very eyes and without a piano, in less than an hour? How do you let the world know that the same boy, at age 10, composed a probing, original viola concerto in three movements, fully orchestrated, in just a few weeks?”
