In my series of musical virtuosity, the turn has come to the piano. And for the second time in a row, I will feature a child prodigy. There is something fascinating about child prodigies. You think it shouldn’t be possible for kids to possess such amazing skills and intelligence, but we are underestimating the little buggers I think. Perhaps they were right in medieval times, kids are just small versions of grown-ups.
I remember thinking that I was pretty smart and special as a small child, but then something happened to me that almost (;) had me convinced otherwise. School. Once out of school again, and out of reach from the arbitrary judgments of teachers. I can once again start to believe in my suppressed geniality. Enough about me!? Have a look at this Japanese 8 year old and his interpretation of Chopin’s Valse no 14. I think it’s a safe bet to assume that his parents didn’t take him to McDonalds on Sundays (euphemism).
