Life

Alma is the daughter of Janie Steen and the Israeli linguist Guy Deutscher . She is musically shaped by her mother, who trained as an organist at Oxford University , and her father, who completed his training as a flutist . She is said to have recognized the importance of the keys on the piano at the age of two.

In the early years of her life, Alma was the subject of her father's language experiments in connection with his professional research. As reported in The Nation , he was careful never to tell her that the sky was "blue" to understand why ancient cultures never used that term to refer to the sky. Her perceptions, which primarily describe the clear sky as “white”, were described in Guy Deutscher's book Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages in 2010 .

German receives home schooling . Her musical education focused on composition and improvisation, as described by Robert Gjerdingen's analysis of the creative methods of teaching music to children in 18th century Italy. According to the book Musical Prodigies: Interpretations from Psychology, Education, Musicology, and Ethnomusicology , Professor Gjerdingen recommended the renowned Swiss improviser Rudolf Lutz to her parents , who then put them in touch with the Swiss musician Tobias Cramm. Gjerdingen sent exercises and commented on technical aspects of Alma's composition, while Alma received improvisation lessons from Cramm via Skype , using the pedagogical method of the 18th century Italian partimenti , instructive bass lines for harmony, counterpoint and improvisation. Deutscher received private instrumental lessons in piano and violin from two teachers at the Yehudi Menuhin School in Surrey.

At the age of nine, she composed a violin concerto , which she premiered as a soloist with Oviedo Filarmonía from northern Spain and then played with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra . In 2012 her opera The Sweeper of Dreams was submitted to the English National Opera in London for a competition, but missed the finals. Nevertheless, the opera was premiered in Israel in August 2012. The world premiere of the second opera, Cinderella (Cinderella) , also took place in Israel in 2015. In an educational program on Israeli television by the Israeli pianist Arie Vardi in 2014, Alma Deutscher u. a. the background of the first opera.

Martin Campbell-White has been mentoring Alma Deutscher since 2015. He had u. a. already discovered and promoted by Sir Simon Rattle.

At the turn of the year 2016/17, an orchestral version of her opera Cinderella was performed four times at the Casino Baumgarten in Vienna under the patronage of Zubin Mehta . In the run-up to the opera, Alan Yentob accompanied Alma Deutscher for a year on a documentary that was broadcast on September 4, 2017 on BBC1 under the title “Finding Cinderella”.

Deutscher has lived in Vienna with her parents since 2018.

The Sweeper of Dreams / Der Traumfeger (2012)

Deutscher's first completed opera is a short work based on Neil Gaiman's story The Sweeper of Dreams, adapted with the text from a libretto by Elizabeth Adlington . It was submitted to a competition of the English National Opera , where the composition barely made it to the final. Parts of the score came to Germans in a dream. The opera premiered in 2013 in Israel.

In the story, the Sweeper of Dreams can no longer do his job because he drank during the shifts. His employer is promoting a replacement. A sixteen-year-old girl named Alex T. Strumm is applying. Her interviewers mock her and are surprised that she is not a man. Alex sets out to prove their suitability and is eventually hired.

Deutscher has said that she prefers stories about girls overcoming adversity; In The Sweeper of Dreams , the main character “... committed two terrible crimes: the first was being a child, the second was being female. But she still manages to triumph in the end. "

Cinderella

Early Chamber Version (2015)

Deutscher's second opera is a full-length work based on the fairy tale of Cinderella . In an interview with the newspaper Die Zeit , she stated that she started working on the opera in 2013. A chamber version was performed for the first time in Israel two years later, in July 2015. Deutscher completed the overture to the opera “just a few days before the performance”. Deutscher explained that their version of the story differs considerably from the traditional fairy tale because music is a central part of the plot. It plays in an opera house on the outskirts of the city run by the wicked stepmother. The two character figures of the stepsisters are portrayed as talentless divas. Although Cinderella is a natural composer, with "beautiful melodies that jump into her head," she is not allowed to perform. The prince is a poet, and Cinderella comes across a captivating love poem, unknown to her, written by the prince. She is inspired by the poem and puts its verses into music. Her tune is then stolen by her stepsisters and sung at a singing competition during the ball, albeit with verse that make no sense at all due to being mistaken for a pharmacy prescription for the ailing king. But finally Cinderella sings her tune to the prince without knowing that he wrote the words to it. Similarly, the prince is not aware that the singer composed the enchanting music to which he wrote his lyrics.

After Cinderella escapes from the ball at midnight, the prince looks for her without using a glass shoe, as in the traditional fairy tale, but with a melody. At some point the couple are united: “In the end they find each other like verses to a melody.” Deutscher explained: “I didn't want Cinderella to be just pretty. I wanted her to have her own mind and spirit. And a little like me. So I decided that she would be a composer. "

Deutscher sang an aria from the opera during her appearance at Zeitgeist Minds in 2015.

Viennese version (2016)

In December 2016, a more extensive version of the opera was premiered in Vienna , with conductor Zubin Mehta as patron of the production. It was performed in German. During 2016 Deutscher had revised and expanded the opera significantly and orchestrated it for an ensemble of 20 musicians. The premiere received a standing ovation and positive reviews in the Austrian and international press.

Full version in California (2017)

In December 2017, the full version of the opera Cinderella premiered in San José , California. This production by Opera San José and the Packard Humanities Institute was sung in English and performed with a large orchestra, choir and dancers. Deutscher re-orchestrated the full score for a full orchestra of 44 musicians and greatly expanded the music from the Vienna version and added new music for the choir and dancers. The performances were directed by the British conductor Jane Glover . During the opera, Deutscher appeared on both the violin and the piano, as in previous productions, and on this occasion also on the organ. The five scheduled performances sold out within an hour of posting on CBS Sixty Minutes, and two more performances were arranged. Reviewer Heather Mac Donald called it "an opera of amazing wit, craft and musical beauty ... the sheer amount of orchestral and vocal inventions is staggering ..." and predicted that Cinderella would make her way to Broadway. This performance was released on DVD by Sony Classical as a co-production of the Opera of San Jose and The Packard Humanities Institute.

Studio version for children at the Vienna State Opera (2018)

Alma Deutscher with Sebastian Kurz and Wladimir Putin (2018)

In January 2018, the Vienna State Opera premiered a short version for children of Deutschers Oper for a four-month period (January – May 2018) on the studio stage. Deutscher had to shorten the length of the opera to 75 minutes. All performances were sold out.

Ballet to the music from Cinderella (2018)

In October 2018, the Children's Ballet Company Berlin and the ID Festival Ensemble will perform the Cinderella Ballet Suite for the first time, which is based on the music of the opera of the same name by Alma Deutscher.

Composition method

Deutschers melodies should come to her "unbidden and fully developed". As she told the Daily Mail , “Music comes to me when I relax. I go and sit on a chair or lie down. I like to think about fairies and princesses and beautiful clothes. ”On Zeitgeist Minds , she explains,“ When I try to get a melody, it never comes to me. Usually she comes to me when I am resting or when I am just improvising on the piano or when I jump with my skipping rope or when I want to do something else, when someone talks to me or when I try to do something, then I hear this beautiful one Melody. ”“ When I'm in an improvising mood, ”she said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph in June 2016,“ melodies burst from my fingertips ”.

Deutscher has described her skipping rope as "magical" and as an important part of her composing process: "I swing it around and melodies pour into my head" A 2015 interview with BBC News showed how Deutscher was swinging the rope in the garden and improvising one Melody sang. They also reach melodies in their dreams, as in other classical compositions, such as Tartini's Sonate du Diable. Describing one such dream composition, which included themes for a number of piano variations in Es, Deutscher said, “I woke up and didn't want to lose the melodies, so I took my notebook and wrote everything down, which took almost three hours. My parents didn't understand why I was so tired in the morning and didn't want to get up. ”She sleeps with a tape recorder by her bed. Parts of her first opera, The Sweeper of Dreams, are said to have come to her fully formed in a dream. Deutscher is also said to be inspired by an imaginary country called Transylvanian: "I built my own country with its own language and there are wonderful composers named Antonin Yellowsink and Ashy, Shell and Flara".

However, Deutscher has stated that her seemingly spontaneous compositional style whitewashed the harder work involved in creating larger, more complex compositions where the idea or initial melody is only the first part of a much longer process. On Zeitgeist Minds , she explained, “A lot of people think the hard part of composing is getting the ideas, but actually it just comes to me. The difficult thing then is to sit down with this idea, to develop it, to combine it with other ideas in a coherent way. Because it's very easy to throw together a lot of ideas that don't make sense together. But to sit down and develop and combine, and then refine and polish it - that takes forever… ”In addition, her father explained in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that Alma's inspiration is underscored by her extensive knowledge of harmony . He gave an example of a passage from a Haydn sonata she was playing at the time, explaining that most listeners found the piece beautiful but mysterious, but for Alma the same piece was an "open book" of familiar harmonic progressions.

Reviews and Criticism

The critical response to Deutscher's compositions in the early years of their public attention was mainly due to their young age and their status as a “child prodigy”. More recent statements related more to the extent of their talent and the quality of their compositions. The conductors Simon Rattle , Daniel Barenboim and Zubin Mehta , the composer Jörg Widmann , the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter , and the composer and musicologist Ron Weidberg gave positive feedback about Deutscher's talent .
