Yeah, just last Saturday, there was a music seminar in my church on Bach's Mass in B minor. It may sound boring but in truth, it's the complete opposite.
Anyways, I'm not gonna go all weird, raving about J.S. Bach's AWESOMENESS. Just about this little 12-year-old kid who attended the course with his mum.
That kid is a genius, dood. IQ level = Unknown (BUT BLOODY HIGH, KAY) and he can already play a number of Bach's preludes, Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" (I was 14 before I could tackle and finish that DD: ) and a number of waltzes. Whoa.
He's home-schooled, does scary, high-level Add Maths and is currently taking some American high-school program thing.
Seriously, I never knew this sort of kid actually existed within my vicinity. He goes to the same piano teacher as I do. The kid still maintains a very level head, and is extremely observant of the world around him. And he does not simply play hymns. He plays it with knowledge, unlike some people who just play it flowerily without knowing the true meaning of the hymn.
Brb, am speechless.
