CHILD MUSIC PRODIGY 60 MINUTES FULL
Forget the few who try to apprerciate other art forms.A child prodigy who has made the jump to full classical stardom. I guess good music (or art in general) is only good based on how pop culture sees it. I like how you present your statements above as if they are facts and absolutes, as if you're the gold standard on what is beautiful and not boring. The most difficult thing to do musically is to write a great pop song. Show me a child prodigy that writes his own symphonies? Yawn. Listen to a song like Love Can Make You Happy by Mercy, a work so beautiful that they did it only once. This is the highest point of musical achievement. The most difficult thing to do in music is to write a simple, heartbreakingly beautiful song.
I guarantee that he and those within his small circle will feel that a three minute pop song is beneath him. Ask the prodigy to take some time out from writing symphonies and write a three minute gorgeous pop song like these. Play this 13 year old prodigy some breathtakingly beautiful pop songs like Walk Away Renee by The Left Banke, Traces Of Love by the Classics IV, or Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes by Edison Lighthouse. I say big deal writing a boring symphony that no one outside of a very small audience will hear is not the true test of real musical talent. He could play the piano at 3, attended Julliard at 11, and at 13, has already written 5 symphonies. On 60 Minutes last night a 13 year old musical child prodigy was profiled.
