she looks so much older already!

i hate when people say she is proof that a god exists...she's amazing because she's just amazing. give HER credit. jeez.

I agree totally.....Emily's gifts, talants, and passions are her own.

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Zounds!!! This is wonderful, exiting music impeccably presented by a True Artist!! This young composer is one of the VERY best on the planet now, in my humble opinion: the music is so "fresh", pure and evocative - it speaks to the soul at a very deep level. I hope she lives a lot longer than Mozart did!!

[TheMilune]

The silence in the room when she plays is just awesome.

Enthralling!!

Im in love with the way the piano sounds

@yobabyyo God did make Emily and Mao, Stalin, Hitler, etc., etc.. And, you're wrong, science does not yet understand the brain. I know science, I have two advanced degrees in science. Science has developed models that 'describe' much of nature using mathematics, but science does not 'explain' nature. Using science to justify atheism is a philosophy called "Logical Positivism." It's NOT science.

I love the way she changed this piece slightly!

[Elainelps0421]

Wow...the maturity of this piece over some of the ones she wrote just a couple of years ago is amazing. I can't wait to hear and see what she is doing in ten years and more. I hope she doesn't "burn out." It seems her parents are doing a great job at balancing out her life.

Thank you for the injection of common sense! If God made Emily, "He" also made Mao, Stalin, Hitler etc. etc. So even *beside* the fact that we already understand through science how such talents can exist, even so the comments about God is silly and inconsistent. So thank NATURE for giving us this very interesting person, and thank her PARENTS for supporting her in a smart way!

@SuperShanshan33 Just a suggestion here. Watch Emily playing. Watch her moves. It is almost like watching an athlete performing. This is a part of what we call "presence." It doesn't matter how bright you are, if you cannot convince others. To market your talent, you must learn to present it like this. Be the musician and the song.

@SuperShanshan33 if you're really that good, then show people. if you wanna be famous that's what you have to do. some classical training wouldn't hurt either if you wanna be really good. but to be honest. i think the best composers are the one's who don't know rules. because then, they have their own take on things.

@StringQuartetFan People are looking for evidence of their beliefs. I agree with you completely!

@SuperShanshan33 Same here!!!
