I caught it last night while surfing.
The kid is truly amazing, the kind of musical prodigy you see once in a generation. It will be interesting to watch him advance in his skills and career.
Most remarkable when he played his compositions in reverse (upside down and backwards). Even his concert piano teacher was watching the kid in absolute awe.

It will be interesting to watch him advance in his skills and career. There are a few possibilities.
- The kid will be very prolific and pour out hundreds of scores over his life. He will teach composition at an Ivy League school, or a music school like Julliard. He will be well-adjusted and quite comfortable with uninvited attention.
- He will develop an obsession with music that will ultimately drive him mad at a young age. (The same affliction suffered by many young performers, writers, composers, former American chess champions etc.) His productive life won't last long.
- He gets bored of this gig and moves on to something else.
I would be interested in hearing some of this young man's music.
