This is her composition, Violin Concerto Number One.Īlma Deutscher: It's extremely jolly and very happy and jocular that movement. That's why I, I've learned, that I want to write beautiful music because I want to make the world a better place."įortunately she doesn't have to choose. "I know that that life is not always beautiful. Scott Pelley: Well, people can fall in love with composers.Īlma Deutscher: That would be a bad sign, yes. Alma DeutscherĪlma Deutscher: I think that it makes much more sense if he falls in love with her because she composed this amazing melody to his poem, because he thinks that she's his soul mate, because he understands her. And in the ball she sings it to the prince. It seemed demeaning to Alma that Cinderella was attractive because her feet were small so she cast Cinderella as a composer and the prince, as a poet.Īlma Deutscher: Cinderella finds a poem that was composed by the prince and she loves it and she's inspired to put music to it. The story Alma tells in her opera, is Cinderella, but it's not the Cinderella you know. "I think I would prefer to be the first Alma than to be the second Mozart." But then actually sitting down and developing the melodies and that's the really difficult part, having to tell a real story with music. That's as unimaginable to her as it is strange for other people to think about a girl with melodies in her head.Īlma Deutscher: I love getting the melodies. Janie Deutscher: She wouldn't be able to imagine life without dreams and stories and music.
