Oh Don, incredible job, as usually. Another more than 4 minutes I can "spend" with Emily. Big thank. I don't know why but I love when Emily plays the piano and simultaneously looks (or is looking) at Ellen (e.g. 3:21 min of this video). Wow Petee

Wow Petee Petee, I know what you mean about Emily looking at Ellen, At the concert in March I was watching Emily play, she would watch the director, the piano and glance out at the audience all while playing, I find this truly amazing, first of all there are very few people in the world who can play Mozart without sheet music, only from memory...and still she can look around and not miss a note...this young lady is something very special. don

I have a feeling they left out a bunch of the interview I didn't see this broadcast IMAGE don Don, you are right, I didn't realise it until you mentioned that. They probably cut out that part. What a pity. Petee Oh, I have to go to bed now because it is 3 am and I spent 7 hours with this forum and browsing Internet for something new about Emily.

Hi, They usually do rehearsals for those shows. The setup of those photos does not look like being part of the show, because why should they show the piano on screen at the show. Looks like a screen test for me. I think those are photos of Emily and Ellen preparing the show, which in my eyes would make them even more valuable. I loved that video very much. You see again, that Ellen and Emily like each other very much. In the end Ellen says: "That's my friend Emily Bear". It is really a joy to watch those two. Dieter PS: It seems I am not the only crazy guy staying up till 3am to prepare some photos or web vids for Connie or Emily

Thanks Sem, As far as I can understand it is called "Tomorrow's Wishes", because she wishes the kids at the "Children's Hospital LA": "many, many tomorrows, and many, many, many, many wishes". Isn't she just great? Dieter

Hi there, First of all, I wanted to thank you for creating this forum. I am a pianist and just love Emily's music. I actually first heard of Emily when she was 5, and knew she was going to go far with her piano playing. I read through this forum, and there are a few things I'd like to share. Mozart is actually not difficult to memorise (regarding the comment about very few people in the world who can play Mozart from memory). The difficulty with Mozart is, the sheer 'simplicity' of the music (ie the pianist feels very 'exposed'), which is why children are often very successful playing Mozart (too many adult pianists put too much 'emotion' into Mozart, which doesn't sound right, needs to sound more simple and unspoilt). Also all soloists in concert need to play from memory. The orchestra need the sheet music, as they are 'accompanying' the soloist. And looking at the director (conductor) is actually essential for the soloist playing with an orchestra (as the conductor is always 'guiding' the soloist). Emily's own music is very logical, without sounding so, and so makes it very pleasant to hear. The chord progressions, for example, in 'Waterlights' and 'The Love in Us' are essentially the same. She has her own style, which is quite something for a 7-year-old composer. Also I think the photo from the Ellen show that was left out of the broadcast, shows Emily playing with an orchestra, so perhaps she was talking to Ellen about her orchestral debut at that point? I think this was possibly cut out later? Anyway, thanks for reading my long message (hope I haven't bored you) . Allegra

Thanks for that great post, I myself know little about music, only that when I hear something that I like and some one who is special I love listening. Emily is very special I can tell that even with my limited knowledge of music. It's gonna be fun following her career and seeing what she comes up with next.

Thanks Don for your reply. Emily has quite a following here I think Emily is a classic example of what can be achieved when talent is recognised early, and is fully encouraged, supported, and developed. She is very lucky to have a very supportive, musical family who have the resources to give her the best training possible. I look forward to watching Emily develop over the years. I think she will have a big role in defining music of the early 21st century.

Hi Allegra,
First, a very warm welcome on Emily's forum. Emily certainly deserves to have this fan platform and I am very grateful to Don for creating this opportunity to share our appreciation for Emily here.
And second a big thank you for your analysis. Though my musical knowledge is quite dusty and rusty, to my very limited understanding I can fully agree with what you are writing.
What stroke me with Emily is how her music is - I would say - complete: it just goes straight to your heart if you listen closely, it is heart felt music. Technical speaking her music is logical and very well structured. This clear structure, with a naturally developing suspense (hope that is the right word), how she introduces the main theme, changes to a second, returns to the first, creates variations, all this adds very much to the wonderful quality of her music. But what stroke me most is, what a deep understanding of music she has at her young age, but most how she creates simple, beautiful music in which for my ears everything is perfect.
Dieter
