īy the time he faced Spassky in 1972, the 30-year-old Fischer had grown paranoid, accusing opponents of trying to poison him. As a teen, he obsessed over chess every waking hour, pouring through the archives at New York City's Marshall Chess Club to replay thousands of old games and develop new strategies. With a reported IQ of 181, Fischer was bored and restless in school, dropping out of high school at 16. Sadly, Fischer's preternatural genius at chess came at a cost to his personal life. But the match that cemented Fischer as America's first - and arguably its only - bona fide chess superstar was his much-hyped trouncing of the Soviet chess master Boris Spassky in 1972 to become the reigning world chess champion.

Perhaps its just my competitive spirit, but I think the CBS story mislead viewers, Jay is overconfident and is lucky to have a plethora of resources and instruction, and you will probably never here of this kid again.ĭigital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths &a. All you need is the resource aspect and we're all composers in here. Sure he has a talent for grasping music better than his peers, but so do most people in PW.

We all play the piano, and I'm sure we all hear full symphonies in our head, and I dont think he's much different. So I think the kid needs to learn some humility (from his 'bluejay' rationale, to his lack of editing or reviewing his pieces). But when you think about it, there are lots of people out there (even in here) that could compose great material, if given the resources and attention. After all, he's on 60 minutes, and going to Juilliard. I dont care if you are 10 or 100 years old, that day could have inspired a much more respectable piece than what he made.
His 9/11 overture was very boring and dull. Of course you want to be known as someone who taught 'mozart' at a young age, thus they will say anything to play this kid up. Many of the "best prodigy in 200 years" quotes that were crowned upon him were his teachers, friends, etc. The story didn't tell the whole, well.story. We don't look at Mozart's and Mendelssohn's compositions from when they were this age and say they are works of genius, just clearly potential genius.remarkable but immature.Īs to his playing a piece backward and reversing clefs, I've known several pianists who can perform this feat and some who do it routinely as a way to deepen their knowledge of a piece!Īaron, I agree with you.

I'm sure he has composition teachers at Julliard who challenge him on this, suggesting a variety of alternate ways he might have handled something, say a development section or a series of variations, or a modulation that could have gone somewhere else. It's a remarkable gift to hear complex music and be able to transcribe it with facility, but to believe what you hear cannot be improved on in myriad ways seems a danger for a real composer. The worrisome comment he made is that he never corrects or alters the music that comes out of his head, that is is perfect as is. The child sounded and appeared almost autistic. Tonic, dominant, subdominant, and various leading tones - these sorts of relationships are "natural" in that the ear hears them easily. Then as to his composition, what little they played in the interview and the 9/11 overture I heard here, it sounds largely derivative and entirely tonal and much of it diatonic - and if someone is born with a brain that speaks music, it is natural that it would be diatonic or close to it, as the relationships described in such music are the strongest ones our ears naturally hear. That he assimilated this information quickly, I don't doubt, but it didn't come from nothing and nowhere. He had to have at least heard orchestral music and got some sense for these things, and then, unless he invented his own notation, someone had to show him the various clefs used by different instruments. The interview talked as though this child was thinking in orchestral scores even before he knew what the instruments were capable of in terms of ranges, which is not possible. I understand a child can be born with the ability to hear music, even complex music, but in cases like Mozart and Mendelssohn, they were in musical households so had resources. There was a lot in the reporting of this story that didn't make sense.
