Last Saturday night I was gonna ask Emily or her mother if Emily was ever composed music for her sister and the harp, I forgot to ask but I came accross this posting on you tube, now I don't know how this person knows Emily but the comment doesn't suprise me. But it does bring my respect of Emily to another level.
"She originally composed the song for piano. This version was orchestrated and conducted by Rich Daniels. When she composes music on her keyboard, she will often create songs for multiple instruments, although none of these compositions have been released on CD yet."
Emily you just "WOW' me

I'll just repeat what you said: WOW! Arnold

Hi Don, I read your post in the Youtube video thread: emilybear.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=discuss&action=display&thread=8&page=1#144I find this comparision of Emily and Mozart again and again. Emily herself said once she is some way like him, and in some ways that may be right. But Emily is Emily, not Mozart, and she is such an adorable girl, she has such great talent that she does not really need any comparision. To me Emily's adorable personality adds a lot to her qualities, and if everything we just cannot compare this. Yet, as I think it is good to know what we are talking about, I decided to give here some information about Mozart, so everyone can make his own mind on this part of the story. I need to say that Mozart is one of my favorite classical componists, he created the most beautiful music I ever heard, and he actually was born in Salzburg, only about half an hour away where I grew up. I learned those facts at school, but I checked them with Wikipedia: Mozart began musical training at the age of four (1760) in piano, violin and composition. In the following year his father wrote down some pieces he marked "composed by Wolfgangerl", the name meaning "little Wolfgang". Those where two Allegros, one Andante and one Menuetto. Of course no concert as claimed in that Youtube comment. I can remember one Allegro from school, it was very beautiful. KV 1, a menuetto, and the first "official" Mozart piece, was most probably written 1764 when Mozart was eight, so we can be sure lots of wonderful little pieces unfortunately have been lost. Mozart did his first performance at an age of six and the family toured already 1762 until 1766 through Europe. Soon Mozart began to compose Symphonies, the first being KV 16, and even opera, at the age of 11, together with Vienna adult componists. Mozart never was poor as some people believe, he actually was best payed almost all his life, but he got into financial trouble several times because he simply spent too much money. Dieter PS: Since this is more about composition I put it in this thread, not in the Youtube thread where the inspiration came from.

Dieter,
I love Mozart's music, wouldn't have been something to hear him play. I hear other people playing Emily's music and it's just not the same as Emily herself, I'm sure the same holds true with Mozart, I'm sure others come close and I think someday Emily will be the closest to actually hearing Mozart himself. I saw a comment on you tube one time about the remark Emily made about "he is a little like me and I'm a little like him" the day before she had seen the movie "Amadaus" so it was fresh in her mind and from what I understand there was also some editing of the news clip....but right now I'm gonna just sit back and listen to some of Emily's music and relax...

Hi! As I said I didn't listen to classical music so far and I feel ashamed that I know so little about Mozart. I don't like much comparisons of Emily with Mozart. However, if I start "back to square one" Emily is GIRL and Mozart was BOY! And then all what you have written is. Petee

Hi, Emily and Mozart both began very early in musical training and soon produced the most wonderful music. But beyond that in my eyes you cannot compare them both. They are from different ages, and there music is different. I don't like too much to name favorites, but if I judge on what I hear at the moment most, Emily by far would be my favorite Don, yes, I think it maybe only Mozart had the complete grip on his music, because it came from his heart. And with Emily we are so lucky, that we can actually listen to the number one interpretation of her pieces, as she is not only doing wonderful compositions, her skill playing the piano is extraordinary.
