A seven-year-old girl in UK has become a classical music sensation after
composing her own version of a coveted opera. Alma Deutscher is not only an
accomplished composer, she is also a skilled violinist and pianist and her
first major composition has been highly commended by the English National
Opera. Deutscher started composing by the time she was five and wrote a sonata
at the age six followed by her opera, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
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 violin and
started composing. Alma wrote her own opera, The Sweeper of Dreams, this year. "The
music comes to me when I'm relaxing. I go and sit down on a seat or lie down. I
like thinking about fairies a lot, and princesses, and beautiful dresses,"
Alma said. She added that her best compositions are created when she is on the
swing in the garden at her home.
The idea for The Sweeper of Dreams came in a dream. "Mozart
composed this piece in my dream and when I got up, I sat down and played it and
my father recorded it," she said.
