For those of us fortunate enough to have witnessed her talents (and there are many), she's achieved her goal.

[@Biomirth]

You are correct. The audience have been electroshocked and drugged and made to wait 17 days for water. This is the only explanation for their incredible lack of comprehension, if I were to be generous.

[@elizabethd.2398]

As an empath, Alma moves me to tears - she’s absolutely brilliant! However, folks here need to stop expecting everyone in the audience to be spellbound by her. We are all cut from a different cloth - so please stop expecting others to think, feel, behave, respond, and react as you do. What resonates with you may not resonate with someone else. For example, someone may be crazy about golf, while someone else may find it boring. Someone may love heavy metal music, while someone else prefers rap. Someone may love ballet, while someone else prefers belly dancing, etc.

[@NotAnotherKuromi]

Her ability to articulate the process is impressive but the process itself it the same for most art forms. Many children go through a similar process when drawing or attempting to create a rocket out of a plastic bottle for example. Only adults to not provide them with the right materials, encouragement, or space to work on creating the best final product they are capable of. Many parents, teachers etc talk of children reaching their potential but often lack the knowledge or intelligence to recognise the child's true potential, never mind how to help the child achieve it. Of course the difference with Alma Deutscher that she clearly has fantastic parents & fabulous teachers, along with the determination, time & talent to concentrate on what she wishes to create & is resolute to create an impressive result. The passion along with her talent, Alma Deutscher is bound to do well in life.

Geraint Hall trust me, I’ve tried listening to pop music and rock and it’s not genuine

[@gerainthall1941]

@@twinicebear775 Not genuine? What on earth is that supposed to mean? '

[@Cheshirepoet]

I love how she emotes during her performance. You can tangibly feel what she’s feeling as she plays. The music is truly a living entity within her. What an extraordinary soul.

[@PatriciaChiquita]

Just wow!! Since I heard her perform I haven't been able to think the same way about anything. She completely transformed me!! What an incredibly gifted and special girl!! What a treat that we get to witness her in this lifetime!!

[@Biomirth]

Exactly how I feel. Nothing is the same after this. Be sure to see all her performances!

[@georgescarlett2320]

I'd have been on my feet, shouting Bravo, praise God, and Cheering loudly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful talent, Beautiful child, thank you God, and Alma!

[@Areya-Sunshine]

Amazing! I just learned about Alma tonight and she is incredible!

[@Paulo37580]

Wow! I sincerely hope she's been performing all around the world. Congratulations! Greetings from Brazil.

[@ahagen2025]

A genius and a wonderful young composer, one of the kind in our Century. I am so touched by her highest self-understanding of her mission as a composer. I am so grateful to listen to her as a human being and as a music composer.

[@MissBeckieLouise]

I'd love to see her Cinderella Opera. She's a genius! And I love her girl power! And the audience needs to show some respect and give her a standing ovation.

[@lockjiang]

Music seems to come so easy for her.she breaths and lives music.

[@tommydeery600]

it's great pity the audience don't show the same enthusiasm as Alma does.You guys are are in the presence of greatness.She's ten years old.

[@chiangmaipies]

The way she manipulates the theme is very Haydenesque, especially the 1st variation. Astonishing.

[@merlitasevillabader218]

This is just beyond comprehension ,at such a young child,simply brilliant ,amazing. May you achieve what you aspire to achieve and continue to develop and share it to the world. We ,the world will watch and consume your brilliant and inspiring work in you tube and in the world stage.Praise and gratitude to your loving wonderful parents and to all the people out there assisting you to develop your fullest potential.

[@FadiGamingRP]

alma didnt even look at the notes lol. man alma is amazing.

[@louiscelenza8017]

Wondrously beautiful beyond words!!! Looking forward to more inspiring music from Alma in the years to come.

[@moloveni55]

Alma is now 10. It is so much fun tracking the life of this little prodigy. If you want a lift watch this segment. It will make your day.

[@emeri5157]

I bet she can also become a great author.... She is like past perfection... We need a new word Almafection!

[@sargossgolek699]

the Divine Mozart never wrote one line of the libretti of his operas. Alma, age ten, wrote the opera AND the entire libretto. Not bad... And she's an die-hard feminist: "Alex's 2 crimes. Being a child and, even more unforgivable, a female". love that girl!

[@emeri5157]

Sargoss Golek at age ten I was still climbing trees and chasing rainbows :P her state of maturity is mind-blowing! Imagine what she will have accomplished in the next decade... So exciting!!!

[@sargossgolek699]

Mina Matsu 1. update: "Music: Alma Deutscher Story: Alma Deutscher, Elizabeth Adlington, Guy Deutscher Hebrew Lyrics: Tsur Ehrlich, Guy Deutscher Dialogues and dramaturgy consultant: Eitana Medan-Moshe". i'm not sure what is precisely the part of AD in the libretto. The idea is hers. the basic narative too. The Hebrew Lyrics: aren't, so we'll have to wait for the English Lyrics till 29-12, the premiere of the complete opera in...german (??!!). 2. AD put an opera company in her Cinderella opera. This is absolute genius. The story immediately gets an incredible depth: it's not about physical beauty only, but about the beauty of the mind! It's a reflexion of and upon music, creation, honesty, hate and love. And power! Very impressive for an adult. but Totally mind-blowing for a 11 years old. 3. next decade??? the sky is the limit!

[@emeri5157]

Sargoss Golek woah lots of info there ! its amazing how she can influence so many ppl out there at that age and at the same time be respected, worshipped, and adored! she is literally a walking angel

[@rebeccagutierrez1401]

One can tell that much discipline has been instilled in the mind and the heart and the soul of this child. Her parents have realized that this child is genius. And they have known how to cultivate her talent.

[@delphinoaleon6436]

She wakes up and sneaks out of bed to write down a Melody that she heard in a dream. An extensive Melody that took her three hours to write down. Wow absolutely wow. LOL then her parents wonder why she doesn't want to wake up in the morning. What a lovely human.

[@MatthewCWeiss]

Her piano theme and variations at 11:15 are absolutely wonderful! Such a talented and dedicated young girl who already creates artful, polished music, not to mention expertly performed. A true inspiration to composers and musicians everywhere...

[@MrMusos]

May she continue to have her wonderful dreams.

[@johnmartin2813]

May she realise all of them.

[@senicanastasia]

Watching that duet made my heart feel like it was going to explode. So fun experiencing that piece through you two. Thank you 🤗

[@jimih7811]

Goodness !!!!!!!! That is beyond words when facing such pure genius ......

[@turqizbutterfly3620]

Above your amazing talent Alma.. and splendid nature... i wish you to be protected.... You are a great gift to your parents and world of music.

[@annawarner1078]

Incredible girl. We are witnessing development of genius.

[@brandonhebert5485]

She doesn't play the music. She IS the music and we are seeing it come to life at her fingertips and hearing it on her violin and piano.

[@psylmar]

Bravo!!! This will never be out of style...there are too many of us who enjoy classical music.

[@jennifera5205]

Erm, when I was 10 I could roller skate and had a collection of stickers. I'm floored by the brilliance of this little being.

[@igorr325]

"My parents are amateurs". Compared to her, aren't we all?

[@peterstanton4283]

rmwtsou, she will never compose a synphony, she is talented for sure, but no "new Mozart" as this lady would have us believe. Shows like this are an insult to those of us with music education. Listen to Mozart's 12 variations from which the lovely tune "Twinkle Twinkle little Star" was adapted, and then tell me this girl is the new Mozart. If she is, I'm the new Vavaldi and my cat that loves to walk on the piano is a reincarnation of J.S Bach, LOL!

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

This piano sonata is absolutely beautiful!! ❤️😱😍

[@dorenemellene960]

She's awesome, and so is the lady. They both play extremely well.
