小小莫扎特

生于2005年的Alma Deutcher是一名英国作曲家、钢琴家和小提琴家。年仅七岁的她已经完成了第一部作品——歌剧《梦想清洁工》，该歌剧受到了英国国家歌剧院的高度赞誉。接下来，我们继续看看这位天才神童的过人之处。

Announcer： Tonight， as of right now 300，000 people have searched out a tiny young girl causing a big stir， a 1）prodigy doing something 2）reminiscent of another little kid called Mozart. ABCs Nick Schifferin is with the newest child wonder.

Nick： Like so many child prodigies， her playing is perfect， her sound is 3）serene. But before seven year-old Alma Deutchers feet reached the floor， shes already written this； an opera composed for an entire string 4）orchestra， praised by the best opera house in Great Britain.

Alma： I had the theme when I was very young， and it…it…it was really mysterious. Its （singing） ah dah dahdah.

Nick： She isnt just reading music， shes writing as she goes， all 5）improvisation off 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 weve seen some extraordinary children. Umi Garret was eight， Brianna Kahane， seven， and pint-size Jonathan Okseniuk， conducting at just four， all great performers， but Almas a great composer， and some say that she writes with the same quality as Mozart when he was the same age.

Brian Zeger （Opera Program Dir.， Juilliard）： I cant think of anybody quite this young. This is really remarkable. She just lives and breathes music.

Alma： Im writing a 6）cello 7）sonata now. It isnt finished yet.

Nick： More than 300，000 people have now discovered her online. This young composers melodies creating so much happiness， and shes only seven.

播音员：今晚，到目前为止（大概2012年10月底），已经有三十万人搜索了一位轰动一时的小女孩——这位天才神童让人回忆起另一神童莫扎特。ABC的记者尼克·希弗林带我们去看看这位最新鲜出炉的天才神童。

尼克：正如很多的天才儿童一样，她的演奏完美无瑕，她的音乐如天籁之音。但是在七岁女童阿尔玛·多伊彻的双脚能踩到地面前（译者注：阿尔玛由于个子矮，弹钢琴时，不得不在脚下垫几本书），她已经谱写了这样的乐曲——为管弦乐队创作的歌剧，受到了英国最好的歌剧院的赞誉。

阿尔玛：我很小的时候就有自己的旋律，那是很神秘的旋律，就像啊哒哒哒这样哼唱。

尼克：她不仅会看琴谱，还即兴编写曲子。她究竟多有音乐天分？我们跟另一位音乐神童比较完就知道。莫扎特在三岁时能认读并弹奏琴谱，阿尔玛两岁就能做到。莫扎特五岁开始作曲，阿尔玛四岁。几年来，我们看到过一些不同凡响的儿童：八岁的乌米·加勒特，七岁的布兰娜·卡哈妮，还有身材矮小的乔纳森·奥森纽克，他四岁就指挥，他们都是杰出的表演者，而阿尔玛是很棒的作曲家，有人说她写的曲子跟同龄时的莫扎特写的一样好。

布莱恩·西格（大都会歌剧院和茱莉亚音乐学院合作项目执行总监）：我很难相信有人那么小（就会作曲），真是不可思议，她的生活连呼吸都伴随着音乐。

阿尔玛：我现在在作大提琴奏鸣曲，还没完成。

尼克：现在已经超过三十万人在网上找到了她。这位年幼的作曲家给我们带来了很多愉悦的旋律，而她年仅七岁。

Umi Garrett

Umi Garrett （born August 15， 2000） is an American pianist. In May 2009， eight-year-old piano prodigy Umi appeared on NBCs The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It was such a sensation that her young career has since skyrocketed， receiving requests to perform worldwide and appearing regularly with symphony orchestras in the US and around the world.

Brianna Kahane

Brianna Kahane is an American violinist. She has been playing the violin since the age of four， and what she has accomplished at her young age is truly breathtaking. Labeled a “prodigy” by The Washington Post—among other national publications—Brianna was just named by Oprah Winfrey as one of the worlds most talented and amazing kids of all-time.

布兰娜·卡哈妮是美国的小提琴家，她四岁开始拉小提琴，小小年纪的她所完成的演奏着实令人钦佩不已。除了别的国家出版物的赞誉，《华盛顿邮报》称布兰娜为“神童”，奥普拉·温弗里（美国著名的脱口秀节目主持人）称她为有史以来世界上最有天分最了不起的儿童之一。

Jonathan Okseniuk

Jonathan Okseniuk， the child music prodigy， lives with his parents in Arizona. His father works in aviation operations and his mother is a home maker. Neither parent is very musical. His mother noticed very early on that Jonathan had a passion for music at only eight months old. He would wave his arms to music， and was picking up pencils and sticks to beat to the time before he could walk. Music is inside him 24 hours a day.

His grandparents play an vital part in his life and are very supportive of his passion. His grandfather is an amateur violist， who grew up in a musical family. He remembers vividly， the moment he played Eine Kleine Nachtmusik for Jonathan. He placed a baton in his hand， and the boy immediately began conducting.

音乐神童乔纳森·奥森纽克，跟父母住在美国亚利桑那州。父亲就职于航空运营公司，母亲是名家庭主妇，父母都不擅长音乐。他母亲早在乔纳森八个月大的时候就留意到他非常喜爱音乐。学会走路之前他听着音乐就会挥动双臂，拿铅笔和棍子打拍子。一天24小时，他都沉浸在音乐里。

他的祖父母在他的生命中扮演了很重要的角色，他们很支持他的爱好。成长于音乐家庭的祖父是一名业余小提琴手，他很清楚地记得，那时他给乔纳森演奏莫扎特的《弦乐小夜曲》，并把指挥棒放在他手里，这个小男孩就立刻开始指挥起来。
