There is a composer studying at New York's renowned Juilliard School who some say is the greatest talent to come along in 200 years. Son of an Israeli, he has written five full-length symphonies, and he hasn't even had his bar mitzvah.
A faculty member at Julliard writes: "How do you react when you encounter an early compositional gift so extraordinary that you can't even begin to comprehend it? 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 8-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?" |
