http://youtu.be/8tC-6HiqTjc Here he is playing on his Gerundino I would guess. It's the only video I've ever seen where he isn't playing pieces his first album. What a prodigy. Wow, thanks for sharing. Even at 16 he was really amazing back then. I think for some reason geniouses rarely improve with time, they are born awesome! i was gonna reply and say there are no geniuses, that its just a misconception that people imagine, that when you pull back the curtain on their lives youll see they werent actually "born" exceptionally good, but youll see a lot of environmental factors and hard work and dedication and opportunity and competitive spirit, but i looked up the definition of genius and i think we tend to over-idolize this concept, which usually happens when people dont fully understand something, they tend to come to some mystical, spiritual intangible conclusion. the definition- - an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work in science, art, music, etc.: the genius of Mozart. Synonyms: intelligence, ingenuity, wit; brains. 2. a person having such capacity. 3. a person having an extraordinarily high intelligence rating on a psychological test, as an IQ above 140. natural ability or capacity; strong inclination: a special genius for leadership. Synonyms: gift, talent, aptitude, faculty, endowment, predilection; penchant, knack, bent, flair, wizardry. so actually you could classify a lot of others here as so called "geniuses" too!!! how many 'geniuses' out there who are stuck in go no where life who just didnt have the environment where they could build on their strengths? but if the same person was born and raised in the right environment and was allowed to flourish becomes a 'master', but he was just born that way right? no. a seed has to be planted in good soil otherwise it wont grow strong, doesn't matter how good the genes of the seed are, we are captive to our environment
