She said in an interview with the Financial Times, “I have quite a few imaginary composers: Antonin Yellowsink and Shell and Greensilk and Bluegold and Ashy. Alma Deutscher explains that she has imaginary composers in her head that are help her compose her songs. When she’s not at the piano or playing violin, she is either reading or outside playing with her purple skipping rope. Later at night at the ball, Cinderella sings her song with the prince’s words and the two fall in love.Īlma seems to constantly have new melodies jumping around in her head. Then, without knowing the prince wrote it, she put music to the words and composed a song based off of the poem. The prince is a poet who wrote a poem that Cinderella found. Cinderella is a composer but the evil stepmother and stepsisters don’t allow her to compose and sing and she is just a copywriter for the opera house. The stepsisters are actually prima donnas who imagine themselves as amazing singers but really can’t sing at all.

When Alma was four years old, she started to compose and improvise on the piano. She asked her parents “How can music be so beautiful?” She has been playing piano since she was two, and violin since she was three. This is the reality of Alma Deutscher, a young piano and violin prodigy.Īlma Deutscher’s first memory of music was when she was three years old and heard a lullaby by Richard Strauss. Imagine selling out at Carnegie Hall at the age of thirteen, and debuting original compositions. If you play an instrument, imagine mastering it and having such a gift for music that you write a full-length opera at just ten years old.
