    Lucy's final performance here: • 13 Year Old Blind Lucy...
    Blind girl, Lucy, with neurodiversity stuns crowd with Chopin piano performance!
    ‘She’s a miracle!’ Viewers break down in tears over ‘beautiful’ Chopin performance by blind girl, 13, at Leed's train station.
    Viewers were left in tears after watching a blind 13-year-old girl flawlessly perform Chopin on the piano at a train station in Birmingham.
    Budding pianist Lucy took to the keys on an episode of Channel 4's The Piano, a talent show hosted by Claudia Winkleman and judged by pop star Mika and concert pianist Lang Lang.
    The show involves pianists performing at Birmingham New Street and London St Pancras stations in front of crowds while the judges watch in a secret room, before selecting one pianist at the end of each episode to perform on stage.
    A clip of Lucy's performance, which has not yet been broadcast in full, was posted on Twitter by the Channel 4 official account, leaving viewers incredibly moved.
    Her mesmerising performance stuns the crowd at the station who watch on in awe, with people online saying they were 'tearful' after watching the clip.
    At the beginning of the clip, Lucy is led to the piano by a man who helps her find her seat, while Winkleman speaks to a woman who appears to be Lucy's mother or guardian.
    The woman reveals Lucy, who is neurodivergent, covers her ears when people applaud her.
    The woman explains: 'She likes the applause, but she doesn't like the sound of the applause.
    'So her fingers go in her ears for sensory reasons.'
    When Winkleman asks if she needs to tell the crowd not to clap, the woman insists Lucy 'loves the applause'.
    Dressed in a navy blue tulle dress with gold butterflies and a white cardigan, with her hair in bunches, Lucy prepares to play Chopin's Opus 9 Number 1.
    A crowd forms around the piano, with many people recording her on their phones. Meanwhile Mika and Lang Lang, who are watching the clip in a separate room, look visibly moved and watch the performance with open mouths.
    At one point, Mika holds his hand up to his mouth and appears to fight back tears.
    Lang says: 'It's unbelievable that she can play this piece. How - how does she study? I mean, it's incredible.'
    As Lucy finishes the piece and the crowd applauds her, Lang can be heard saying: 'Oh my God. Oh my God this is - this is impossible.'
    He adds: 'I'm speechless, I don't know what to say.'
    Mika, with tears in his eyes, laughs and replies: 'There's nothing to say.'
    He added he was 'flummoxed' and left 'speechless' by Lucy's moving performance.
    After the clip was posted on Twitter, users echoed the judges' sentiments.
    'Wow! Made me teary eyed that. Amazing stuff,' one person said.
    Another wrote: 'A magical and beautiful performance by Lucy. An inspiration to everyone watching and a reminder that being neurodiverse is a gift.'
    Describing the clip as 'stunning', one viewer said: '[Lucy] looked so wrapped up in a cocoon of beautiful sound and her playing looked effortless.'
    Other people wrote that the clip had given them a 'big smile' and was 'uplifting' to watch, while a piano teacher shared her experience of coaching a blind student.
    She wrote: 'Blind musicians are incredible in how they learn and memorise music. I have been so blessed by my own, young blind student who has challenged me to look again at my teaching and more besides.
    'Lucy featured here is very special.'

It was beautiful piece in her hands and I hope she'll do more.

    As a physically disabled musician myself, it is so encouraging to watch musicians with other disabilities overcome their challenges to be able to play. Lucy is a phenomenal musician and it was so interesting to see how her teacher taught her. When I was 5 I was so pleased that I could press down a key. My fingers are very weak so I can only use a few of my fingers when I play and my teacher really had to adapt the way she taught me but I’m glad she believed it would work. I would really encourage all music teachers if you are ever asked to teach someone with a disability, no matter what it is, don’t walk away but give it a go! You might be surprised! Looking forward to watching more of Lucy’s piano playing on RUclips!

      Ничто её так не заботит,
      Она не видит белый свет,
      И как он выглядит не знала,
      Незрячий ангел как рассвет,
      Все наши души пробуждала,
      Каснувшись клавишей рукою,
      Душа неистово рыдала,
      И как найти ей путь домой,
      Девечье сердце подсказало,
      С каким же трепетом она,
      Эту мелодию сыграла,
      Как будто видела сама,
      Предвосхищение начала.

      На снегу ещё след,
      Того самого дня,

      Полюбив навсегда, Белоснежность зимы,
      Из горячего льда,
      Но приходит весна,
      Она вовсе не зла,
      От пожара страстей,
      Остаётся зола,
      Встречи с этой зимой,

      Прижмись ко мне поближе, Дыши свободной грудью, Проснись, кого ты видишь? Вокруг одни лишь люди,
      Которых ты любила,

    This is by far the best version of Chopin's Nocturne I've ever heard. She has a depth of feeling not present in so many pianists work, they think Chopin's music is to test technical skills. Also not surprised in the least she can play this so sublimely being blind. When I was at school we regularly had a blind piano tuner who would come and tune the school pianos and was so precise in his work. Also remember Stevie Wonder is blind but that didn't hold him back.

      It depends on a person. This extraordinary girl is blind, so her main sensory input is sound. She doesn't have any visual input to process. Human brain adapts.
      Also, even children learn differently. My son is very visual (as proven by psychologist tests - his spatial intelligence is extremely high, but verbal is average at best). When learning piano, he has persistent issues with reading music (which does slow down his learning, unfortunately). He cheats by listening to a piece on youtube, then playing it by ear. In music, sound is really more important than visual input.
