a
the nine-year-old marc yu is called little mozart. he is too short to reach the pedals (踏板) of a piano. marc, from california, usa, says, “the problem is that my legs aren’t straight enough, so i have to get very close to the piano.”
marc’s 34-year-old mother played beethoven’s cds to him when she was pregnant (懷孕的). marc started playing the piano at a birthday party when he was only two. whi le the other children were singing “tw inkle, twinkle, little star …”, he walked over to the piano and started playing the song. it astonished his mother, because that was the first time he’d been near a piano. marc gave his first public performance, playing beethoven, at six, the same age as mozart. after that concert, marc won a ￡225,000 university scholarship (獎學金).
at present he practices the piano eight hours a day. he also studies part-time at the famous colbum music school in los angeles, and flies once a month to china for lessons at shanghai music school. marc says, “i like playing the piano because it makes me have a lot of different feelings — sadness, excitement, happiness and so on. i like playing difficult pieces, especially those that my teacher says i shouldn’t.”
