Some people are born with all of the skills and abilities of the late, great musical geniuses of human history. As an example, consider the 5-year-old Italian boy prodigy.
While other youngsters his age are napping and learning their ABCs in kindergarten, Alberto Cartuccia Cingolani is instructing adults on the finer intricacies of Mozart.
You won’t be able to learn it by taking a few piano lessons. Certain things are simply hard-coded in your DNA!
Alberto is hardly recognized outside of the fact that he is from Italy and the polar opposite of low-key. However, if the number of iPhones held up by spectators is any indication, he is obviously film-worthy.
Alberto doesn’t shy away from displaying his audacity, persistence, and amazing talent to the audience, with lightning-quick fingers and the intensity of someone with many more years of experience on him.
Observe how there are no music sheets on the deck in front of him. This small man is reciting the notes verbatim!
Some would even claim that it’s “muscle memory” from a previous life spent performing and composing in Vienna’s opulent palaces.
Hello, Mozart! Are you there?
Speaking about Mozart, Alberto is performing the 16th Piano Sonata in C Major, K. The number 545 is rather long. Perhaps you are better accustomed to the considerably easier and more lyrical “Sonata Facile.”
Mozart was one of the original coffee house musicians in his day, despite being known for playing at posh venues for the super-rich.
In reality, Café Frauenhuber in Vienna, a former hangout for both Mozart and Beethoven, is still open for business. Imagine indulging in a dark roast and a wiener schnitzel while peacefully taking in the strains of Mozart. What a strange combination!
Alberto has the musical talent to thrive in life, despite the fact that he won’t be performing at a Dunkin’ Donuts or a Starbucks anytime soon.
He communicates with people on a level that is impossible to achieve through words alone. That’s all! You can feel it in your bones!
However, some people contest the veracity of this piano prodigy and have proposed theories as to how a 5-year-old could have a hairstyle popular in the 1980s without anyone noticing.
Alberto has a musical talent that is unmatched in any way, and listening to him perform will make you feel chills go through your body.
This young youngster is the ideal representation of what it means to fearlessly embrace your gifts and grow into your destiny. We ought to all be so fortunate!
