@@pa1189j And out of all of them I think Alma was the only one to perform her own composition. Many can play these kinds of pieces but it seems very few still know how to create this kind of stuff. This is what sets Alma above the rest. With Alma, it's almost like she was born this way. Has anyone ever really taught her anything? It just seems to come out of nowhere. Her perfect pitch, Improvisational skills, and the very unique way in which she creates music are something very special.
@@Robbie.Dunbar To be fair, Alma wasn’t part of the competition. She’s a true prodigy. A term very often loosely applied. It remains to be seen if she will become a ‘great’ composer in her lifetime or, like many before her, will have to wait until later to be fully appreciated.
@@Robbie.Dunbar If your question is not rhetorical and you are genuinely curious about her formative years, try the BBC documentary 'Alma Deutscher Finding Cinderella 2017' ... it's on RUclips. R (Australia)
It's hard to believe how accomplished this young lady is at 16 (?). She composes, plays violin and piano, does all the orchestration, conduct, choreographs dances and herself dances beautifully, has a wonderful singing voice and is very intelligent, humble and growing into a beautiful woman.
Actually this is a shortened version of the "Siren Sounds Waltz." The original is actually a series of four waltzes. The complete work is about 15 minutes long. What was performed on this occasion was the introduction, the first waltz and the finale. You can see the unabridged version on RUclips in her concert from Carnegie Hall with the Orchestra of St. Luke's. The Salzburg State Opera is currently featuring Alma's opera "Cinderella." They have also commissioned her to compose an opera especially for them which will probably be premiered in 2022. The Vienna State Opera has also performed a shortened version of "Cinderella" for children. Alma Deutscher is currently 16 yrs old.
Indeed, both the full version of "Sirenenklänge Walzer" and this performance are absolutely wonderful! The introduction alone is one of the most ingenious and original in the whole history of the waltz. All four dance sections and coda are unspeakably beautiful. Alma's music is immersed in the best tradition of the classic Viennese waltz and at the same time her style is completely individual. Without a doubt, none of the earlier "waltz kings" composed such a fantastic waltz in their youth.
I consider Alma Deutscher to be one of the most creative and brilliant artists today and for all time. At a very young age she has proven to be an incredible performer who has basically mastered both the violin and the piano to an astounding degree but her playing has a depth and maturity that is not present in most of the young prodigy virtuosos. She seems not to have an ego and just appears to be a very natural performer. Maybe the most incredible thing about Alma is her beautiful original works. Her composing and orchestrations are extraordinary and totally fresh and original. She has something to say that is powerful and always lyrical and everything of hers has a beauty and a natural musical appeal that is remarkable. I consider myself very fortunate to have heard her in performance at her Carnegie Hall debut concert. She is a wonderful talent in so many ways and I love her artistry. God Bless you, Alma and may you keep growing and creating into your 90s and beyond!!!
Just refund Alma again, but now directing and playing her own symphony. Many people say they get goosebumps when hearing exceptional music. I never do, I wish I did. Instead I get tears flowing suddenly. Such a beautiful piece. Thank you Alma. May the Good Lord keep blessing you. And may you always stay humble so you may soar higher and higher.
When her first symphony hits, classical music will never be the same again. Poor academics, their burrial in irrelevence is iminent. Boo hoo, no more nightmares about screaming Hiroshima victims.
Just came across beautiful uniquely talented Alma and being watching her RUclips's. Alma and her sister truly precious gift to her family and to all of us. Very well brought up. Beautifully dressed too. Not showy. Very genuine and plays to us from a pure beautiful heart.
Thank you, Alma! I have followed you since your first public appearances as a toddler (online) with your grandmother, and am so grateful for your contributions to music, youth and hope. Those who understand the development of true talent are with you, and in full appreciation of the amazing journey you are taking as a performer and composer. What a gift to my life, and the lives of so many. Keep listening, hearing and sharing!
The number of wonder children today is exponential. Violinists, pianists.... Alma possesses God-given gifts from pianist to violinist to conductor and finally ! composer. All in one person who is not even 20. Add to it, her unspoiled long-forgotten femininity, modesty, and graciousness make her a symbol of unblemished music, art, and beauty.
Thank you for posting, pa. This abridged version of the piece is very nice, and it is fun to see it played by Alma and the other young violonist. The whole "mise en scène' and photography is a little jewel.
@@pa1189j Artists have to face all sorts of challlenges. For instance, as Kapelmeister, Bach had for many years of his life to come up with a new composition every Sunday, and Sundays never took a vacation. As for rehashing music, I think a lot of composers did it for fun, perhaps more than commercial imperatives. I am thinking for example of Schubert, who would compose a masterpiece string quartet, and then find that the theme of the first movement would make a marvelous lied, which indeed became a masterpiece known as the Trout. Alma herself has at least three different versions of her opera Cinderella. With the Waltz Siren, the full version was quite interesting at the Carnegie Hall. But I thought this version reduced to the single siren theme and with a different orchestration and violon soloist, is a different and lovely piece of work, which Alma probably had much pleasure working on and performing herself as soloist.
@@georgesthibaudeau1533 I listened to most of the programme in which Alma’s piece was played. I found it extremely unsatisfying, demonstrated by the most bizarre rendition of Rhapsody in Blue that I’ve ever heard.
@@pa1189j Interesting point. I do not know who these people are. I'll manage to find out about it. You make me curious re : the bizarre Rhapsody in Blue..
@@georgesthibaudeau1533 The whole tone of it brought to mind that wonderful riposte by the Emperor to Mozart in ‘Amadeus’. “Very good but too many notes”.

Oh my dear lord 😄 Alma is surely growing up, absolute Masterpiece and Im glad she is in front here I missed that in her premiere she is the Angel of "Classical" music 🎶 of the Future 🤗 "Alma the first" is already a Master just reached the Teens but already up there with the Greatest composers of past Centuries I can't think of anyone now living that can match her genius. Thanks🙏 alot for this beautiful upload from my Favorite composer of all times.🙂👍 ~ OneLove 🕊
Thanks, have been waiting for this performance 😊 This girl is amazing, she takes ugly sounds and make them beautiful👏 What I would love is to bring Alma and Angelina Jordan together. Alma with her classical background, always having melodies "popping out of her head". And then AJ, with her jazz-background, can sing and improvise these songs, accompanied by Alma. I think the result will be mind-blowing and something never heard before in music history. 😊
The other young lady who belongs at this party is Emily Bear (ASCAP recognized junior composer at age 6, has written and played classical, jazz and film scores.) At age 19 has just completed the music for a musical version of Bridgerton. like the rest of these young women, she can play anything, and probably has already. You can check all this out on RUclips, of course.
Yes, it would be something super special to listen to Alma playing the piano while Angelina sings . Great idea. Let's keep advancing the idea till they hear and do it. It would be a plus for both of their carrers.
Seems like Alma has been performing for years.....only sixteen ....and she has been Great to be alive to witness such a talent !! Growing up fast....but not too fast i hope .....💕❤
Alma is so exceptional people seem to forget she is a woman and only focus on her age. The very fact that she makes people forget about sexism goes to show how art can really bind together what we by custom tear appart.
Another absurd though beautiful work of mother Nature. Alma and Angelina exist in our minds and harts because of their love for music. Will we return it back to nature one day?

I get the joke I hate conductors and I motion when listening I THE TRUE GOOD ONE.Your maturing and learning to be more social. :) Your nature becoming more like a young lady.
some good advice I think is Alma needs to be in a position where things are very difficult for her in the sense that while she admires the work from past greats, it also consumes her such is the envy that creates
hmmm to be honest I feel as a big fan from Alma Deutscher - at all the former pieces I felt so much beautiful romantic harmony but this walz doesn't touch me. Strange ultra modern sounds reach my ears. Hmmmmm is it new Alma?
@@pa1189j Yes that could be true. I admired her all the time that she didn't hear to the idiots who say "you must go with the time" "you must be uptodate" "you must do mainstream..." She said "no! I want do beautiful music!!!" But this is different. This is disharmony. So sad.
@@pa1189j Dear Mr. first I want emphasize it is ONLY! my personal point of feeling. I'm a big fan of classical harmony. Music is a huge part of my life - I organize classical home concerts and I sometimes compose. I think some experiments could touch other souls if they are in harmony. And sometimes no professionals might be better audience - such ones who only listen to their hearts. Not influenced by mainstream - just the own personal feeling. So if YOU love it the piece is great! It is great for you.
Underneath the description -"This piece was pemiered at the Brahm Hall..." is the icon SHOW MORE. This will give a link to the original performance from Carnegie Hall NY and is twelve minutes in length.
Isn't this composition two years old already? Not that it matters, I just expected something new after lockdown. And funnily enough I found the old version from two years ago in Carnegie Hall to be better than this one. I can imagine that it's difficult to conduct the orchestra with a violin bow.
Measures from 2:10-2:26 are right out of Schubert's Du bist die Ruh ... Listen. Ok to borrow, just be prepared to give credit if asked. Old saying: Steal only from the best. (Know your sources) making a fuss over a 5 year old prodigy is okay, but even Mozart was expected to mature. If she likes to write in a 200 year old style, that's okay I guess,, but I'm not sure about the big ballyhoo...
