Among them, the Millennium Tower, 58 stories of opulence. Opened in 2009, it was the tallest residential building west of the mississippi. Though priced in the millions, inventory moved quickly, attracting tech barons, bankers and San Francisco football hero joe montana. Yet for all its curb appeal, the building has one major fundamental problem its sinking into mud and tilting toward its neighbors. We cannot explain what you are about to hear.

Kroft its safe to say that of all the places in the country, the one that is suffering the most right now is the hurricane ravaged island of puerto rico. Most people probably dont think of it as being part of the United States, but the people who live in puerto rico certainly do. Its been a territory since 1898, and its 3. 4 Million People are u. S. Citizens. For the past 46 days, most of them have been without power and remain so tonight, the longest blackout in american history. Fema says it has distributed more food and water there than any disaster its ever been involved in. Damages could reach 90 billion, and puerto rico is already bankrupt. There has been some finger pointing about the speed and effectiveness of the relief and recovery effort, but the misery there has much more to do with nature. When Hurricane Maria arrived on the morning of september 20, it was largely unheralded and never projected to hit the continental United States, which was already suffering hurricane fatigue. But the storm tore into puerto rico with sustained winds of 155 miles an hour and then began a slow 12hour crawl across the countryside, with the center of the storm enveloping the entire island. Governor Ricardo Rossello storms that come through puerto rico typically hit part of the island. This hurricane essentially went right through the middle of puerto rico. Kroft there was no safe haven. Rossello there was no safe haven. Kroft Ricardo Rosselloo is the 38yearold governor of puerto rico. Hes been in office for only ten months and was one of the first to inspect the damage. Rossello once we flew over the island, it looked like a bomb hit puerto rico. It was just all wiped out. It is a different set of circumstances, and whoever doesnt understand that really needs to. To look at this twice. Kroft there are all sorts of circumstances that make it unfair to compare puerto ricos situation with those in post hurricane texas and florida. First, its an island a thousand miles away from the u. S. Mainland with washed out roads, destroyed bridges, unreliable communications and, in most places, still no electricity. Hector pesquera what happened here is that within a 24hour period, life as we knew it in the island just collapsed. It was a brandnew island the 24 hours later. There is no food. There is no water. There is no gasoline. There is no diesel. There is no power. There is no running water. There is no banks. There is no a. T. M. S. Theres nothing. Kroft before he retired, heector pesquera was the special agent in charge of the f. B. I. Office in miami. Now, the native puerto rican is back home directing Emergency Services and Public Safety for the island, one of three people running the recovery along with the Governors Office and fema. Pesquera we need to create some sense of normality here. We have to. We owe it to people. And we cant stay in. In. In day two. We need help. We need real help. We cant do it ourselves. Theres no way. Neither could any jurisdiction, either. Kroft another difference with florida and texas is the puerto rican terrain, especially in the mountainous middle of the island, which was hardest hit by maria and is the most difficult to reach. We caught a ride in a black hawk helicopter with the governor, who pointed out all of the damaged homes lucky enough to get a femaissued blue tarp to serve as an emergency roof. There is a serious shortage. Rossello theres still about another 200,000 homes that probably need a blue tarp. Kroft 200,000 . Rossello our estimates are that about 250,000 homes have been either completely destroyed or severely damaged. Kroft we were on our way to the isolated town of utuado, parts of which were cut off from civilization after a raging arecibo river knocked out a key bridge. The people here call it the camp of the forgotten, and ferry supplies back and forth across the gap using a shopping cart on pulleys. On the other side of the river, we found hundreds of people gathered to receive emergency food and water. The mayor told us its a daily occurrence. Whats the biggest problem here right now . Mayor of utuado the biggest problem here is the water. I need water to the people. Kroft there are still 15,000 people here helping, most of them military and National Guard who could be gone in a matter of months. Fema, the federal Emergency Management agency, is in it for the long haul. Its man on the ground is mike byrne, who came here with a lot of other people in this room from Hurricane Harvey in texas. Byrne just because its not my first rodeo, it doesnt mean its not a rough ride. Kroft along with the army corps of engineers, byrne will be planning and coordinating what he hopes will be the islands eventual recovery. Have you gotten beyond the assessment stage, or are you still in the assessment stage . Byrne were not only still in the assessment stage, were still in the emergency stage. You know, were still giving out water. Were still giving out food. Were doing a million meals a day, over a million liters of water a day. Were still powering hospitals with generators. So, we still have a long way to go before were able to even just get out of emergency response. Kroft how long do you think youre going to be here . Byrne a long time. Were really rebuilding the Core Infrastructure of the island. Kroft the immediate and the longterm problem is electricity, or the lack thereof. After 46 days, the vast majority of Puerto Ricans are still in the dark, living without lights, refrigeration, television, computer networks, wifi, air conditioning, traffic lights and offices to go to. Its not just the downed utility poles and power lines that are literally everywhere, its giant transmission towers and high tension wires in remote parts of the island. Pesquera and this is where the lines came down. Kroft heector pesquera says more than 170 towers are down and the power grid completely destroyed. Pesquera the. The grid, the electrical grid to me is the backbone of all these things starting to come up. Until we get this grid thing resolved, its going to be very slow. But you cant run emergency power 24 7. Thats why its called emergency power. Kroft to get some sense of how arduous the task of restoring power to neighborhoods and businesses will be, a good person to talk to is Lieutenant General todd semonite, who runs the army corps of engineers. Semonite the last mile is going to take a long, long time. And these are probably 62,000 power poles that have to be brought in from the United States, that have to be shipped here over water. And then, youre going to run 6,100 miles of cable. So, just the magnitude of that program, do you want it done in a couple weeks . Of course you do. But the science and the engineering and the logistics to be able to make that happen is just going to take some time. Kroft how long do you think this is going to take . Semonite were going to push like heck. I think the majority of people will hope to have their power up in. In january, maybe february. I would predict theres some people on that last mile that are going to be close to spring or summer before they get those very, very last houses. Kroft some of that work will have to be done by the puerto rican electric power authority, or prepa, which is where the damage from Hurricane Maria intersects with the islands financial crisis at a point called reality. Prepa is responsible for 9 billion of the governments 73 billion in debt, and the Power Company was falling apart before the storm hit, with no money, no maintenance and apparently no management. Not even governor rossello would defend it. Many people in puerto rico see prepa as a big, fat corrupt political organization. Rossello right. Kroft do you disagree with that . Rossello not necessarily. Let me put it in this context. You have a monopoly of an essential service that is four or five times more costly than in the United States. And yet, youre. Youre running on the. The red. So, its. Its as if i had a. The only bakery in town. I was charging five times the. The cost of bread loaves to the townsmen, and i was still losing money. Thats whats happening with prepa. Kroft eight months ago, the governor appointed Ricardo Ramos to run the bankrupt utility. Are you still sleeping here . Ramos no. Only on weekdays. Kroft he quickly discovered that pressure from debt holders demanding payment had forced prepa to cut corners on maintenance and other necessary services. Youve been in this job since march . Ramos march 10. Kroft what did you inherit . Ramos i inherited a junker. Kroft the Power Company has lost twothirds of its workforce in the past three years, and, after maria, the junker is for all practical purposes totaled. Ramos we have no money. We have to recognize it. And no credit. Kroft its taking forever to get contractors and heavy equipment onto the island and out in the field. Already theres been a whiff of scandal after prepa signed a questionable contract potentially worth 300 million with an obscure but well connected montana contractor called whitefish that was already up and running. The contract, since cancelled, is now under investigation. The bankrupt puerto rican government has even bigger problems. Its 73 billion in the hole after flooding the market with Municipal Bonds it cant pay off. Its finances are now being monitored by an Oversight Board created by congress. For the time being, old debt payments have been suspended as the island confronts hurricane damages that could exceed 90 billion. Is it realistic to think that you can come up with 90 billion . Rossello well, you know, those are the damages. What im asking is for is fairness. What im asking is, give the citizens, the u. S. Citizens in puerto rico, equal treatment to the u. S. Citizens in texas, florida and california and the u. S. Kroft what is the responsibility of the United States government to its territories like puerto rico . Rossello we are u. S. Citizens. We fight the same wars that u. S. Citizens that live in the mainland fight. We. You know, it is the condition of being a colonial territory. Just to give you a sense, if i move to the United States, to. To one of the. Any of the states, i get the right to vote for the president , for my house rep, for senators and so forth. If you move to puerto rico, you lose those rights. It doesnt make any. Any sense that we have a sort of second class citizenship in the 21st century. Kroft when you say puerto ricos a colony of the United States, what do you mean exactly . Rossello well, it. It is a colonial territory. We are a possession of the United States. Congress has full authorization power over. Over puerto rico. Kroft so, whats to stop the congress from saying, im sorry, but, you know, you know we got california and florida and texas to take care of, and youre just a u. S. Possession. Rossello well, you know whats going to happen then . All. Vast majority of Puerto Ricans are going to catch a flight and move to one of those states. Our only transaction to go to the United States is buying an airplane ticket. Thats it. You dont even need a passport. So, if conditions are so dire here, the u. S. Citizens here are going to go to where they can get equal conditions. Now is that something that the United States wants . Kroft well, isnt that something thats already happening . Rossello it. It is already happening. Kroft you can see it every day at the san juan airport. There are tearful goodbyes as families break up and head off to start a new life on the mainland the jetblue solution, they call it. More than 100,000 have left since maria struck puerto rico 46 days ago. Some will return, many wont. In the last decade, nearly a half a million have resettled to new puerto rican communities in places like kissimmee, florida, outside orlando, where they gather at the millao bakery every sunday after church. Whatever happens back home on the island in the tough years ahead, it will require the help of puerto rican americans wherever they live.

Wertheim its a story as old as cities themselves prosperity comes to town and triggers a building boom. In modern San Francisco, rows of skyscrapers have begun lining the downtown streets and recasting the skyline, monuments to the triumph of the tech sector. Leading this wave, the Millennium Tower. 58 stories of opulence, it opened in 2009 to great acclaim, then the tallest residential building west of the mississippi. Though priced in the millions, the inventory of posh apartments moved quickly. Yet for all its curb appeal, the building has quite literally one fundamental problem its sinking into mud and tilting toward its neighbors. Engineering doesnt often make for rollicking mystery, but San Francisco is captivated by the tale of the Leaning Tower and the lawsuits its spawned. Its a story positioned albeit at an angle somewhere between civic scandal and civic curiosity, an illustration of what can happen when zeal for development overtakes common sense. foghorn when the fog rolls in over San Francisco, the skyscrapers live up to the name. The transamerica pyramid, long the gem of this skyline, now dwarfed, quaint as a cable car. The new Salesforce Tower stands as the tallest building in town. Nearby, facebook just took out the citys largest lease on this building. And across the way, the Millennium Tower at 301 Mission Street, 645 feet of reinforced concrete wrapped in glass. Inside the 550 million construction, as advertised lavish condominiums flush with amenities, attracting tech barons and venture capitalists. San francisco royalty, former 49ers quarterback joe montana, bought here. Pat dodson its a wonderful location. Wertheim so did jerry and pat dodson. Eight years ago, they paid 2. 1 million for a twobedroom and planned to live out their retirement enjoying the sweeping view from the 42nd floor. Pat dodson everything i had read indicated that it was the best building in San Francisco. It had won numerous awards. It had particularly won awards for construction, which was very important if youre thinking of moving into a high rise. Wertheim initially no buyers remorse . Pat dodson absolutely not. Jerry dodson no, not at all. I mean, in fact, buyer euphoria. Wertheim one feature the dodsons hadnt counted on. These devices are what . Jerry dodson theyre stress gauges. Wertheim dozens of stress gauges dot the walls of the Millennium Towers basement. They measure in millimeters the slow growth of cracks along the columns that rise up from the buildings foundation. Jerry dodson theres enough of them, a spider web of cracks, that you have to be concerned about whats going on underneath. Wertheim these cracks are one of the only visual clues that theres anything profoundly wrong here. These are the rounds you do now . Jerry dodson yeah, ive been told by structural and geotechnical engineers that i should be watching. Wertheim both an engineer and a lawyer, dodson makes daily rounds of the basement looking for signs of deterioration. Its a routine hes kept since the Homeowners Association called a meeting of residents in may of 2016. Pat dodson they just said we should be there and made us sign in, which alerted us at that time that there was something serious. Wertheim so, what was the nature of that meeting . Pat dodson it was the first time we were told that the building was sinking and was tilting. Wertheim engineers for the towers developer have tracked sinking here since the day the foundation was poured in 2006. Nothing unusual about that. Heres what is unusual their data shows the Millennium Tower sinking 17 inches so far and tilting 14 inches to the northwest. Aaron peskin let me ask you this what do you think is going on . Why is this happening . What can be done about it . Wertheim once news got out, local politicians seized on the story. Engineer i dont know. Wertheim and the very engineers celebrated for the buildings design suddenly were being compelled to explain why the building was moving. Woman if youd like to speak, please do approach the mic. Wertheim when the millennium hearings opened to public comment, it brought some livelier moments. Man i think whats needed here in the city by the bay, where everybody thinks everythings okay, but they might want to hear what ive got to say. Wertheim this, after all, being San Francisco a city once described as 49 square miles surrounded by reality. Aaron peskin has a certain vitality himself. A longtime city supervisor, he starts most days with a swim in the bay, then meets constituents at a north beach coffee shop where the Millennium Tower is a popular topic. Peskin is leading hearings into what is causing the trouble. You subpoenaed some of the engineers involved with Millennium Tower. Why . Peskin we dont generally like to subpoena people. That power has not been used by the San Francisco board of supervisors for some quarter of a century. Wertheim 25 years, youve never issued a subpoena before . Peskin thats correct. Wertheim when you got them in here, what did you learn . Peskin their answers were less than satisfactory. Nobody has owned up to why this building is not performing. Wertheim some homeowners arent waiting around to find out. Andrew faulk and frank jernigan, who worked at google when it was still a startup, got all the answers they needed when they rolled a marble across their floor. Jernigan we didnt do it but once, and this is what we got. We were shocked when that thing stopped, turned around and started rolling back. Faulk back to where the building is tilting. Wertheim the northwest side. Jernigan i thought, we dont know if this buildings going to stand up in an earthquake. And so, i became severely frightened of that. Faulk and we got out. We left. We left really most all of our belongings. We just left. Wertheim the couple sold their apartment earlier this year and moved to a twostory home in the Pacific Heights neighborhood. Jernigan we sold it for approximately half of what it was valued at before this news came to light. Wertheim you lost seven figures. Jernigan yes. Wertheim . On the sale of this apartment . Jernigan yes. Faulk thats right. Jernigan i would say we lost 3 million to 4 million. Wertheim speaking of astronomical figures. bell half a world away, in a suburb of amsterdam, San Franciscos sinking tower came across the radar of petar marinkovic, an engineer who works with the European Space agency to track earthquakes. Using signals from a satellite 500 miles above the earth, marinkovic measures ground movements around fault lines. In 2016, he happened to be studying the bay area when something caught his eye. This is obviously downtown San Francisco. What do the green dots represent . Marinkovic green dots represent stable, no displacement or no significant displacement. Wertheim stable structures . Marinkovic stable structures, yeah. Wertheim and the red dots . Marinkvoc few red dots means somethings going down. Somethings settling. Somethings subsiding. Somethings sinking. Wertheim did you know what it was . Marinkovic no. Wertheim had you heard of Millennium Tower before this . Marinkovic no. Wertheim ever been to San Francisco . Marinkovic no. Wertheim what can you tell us about the rate of sinking . Marinkovic its in the ballpark of. Between 1. 5 to two inches a year. Wertheim 1. 5 to two inches a year . Marinkovic yeah, yeah. Wertheim and theres nothing to suggest the sinking and tilting are slowing down, much less stopping. But is it dangerous . As recently as this past summer, the city of San Francisco and its engineers asserted the building is safe even in the event of an earthquake. Even so and this is a central theme to this saga there are as many opinions about the trouble at the Millennium Tower as there are engineers in the bay area. Jerry cauthen theres a lot of things about this building that are unprecedented. Wertheim Jerry Cauthen, one of those local engineers, did not work on the tower but has worked on nearby projects. Some sinking for buildings is acceptable, right . Cauthen some is. They actually anticipated that over the life of the building, it would sink about four to five inches. Thats like a hundredyear life. Wertheim this is double and triple that. Cauthen yeah. I dont think they. They obviously didnt anticipate anything like this, close to it. Wertheim by they, cauthen means millennium partners, brandname developers with high end skyscrapers all over the country. Cauthen says their big mistake was building Millennium Tower out of concrete instead of steel. Cauthen concrete is often cheaper. And its just as good, but it is a lot heavier. And so, you got to design your foundation and your subsurface to support that higher weight. Wertheim what lies beneath the surface at 301 Mission Street is critical to the story. It fell to millenniums geotechnical engineers to analyze the ground below and design an appropriate foundation. They went with a foundation driven 80feet deep into a layer of dense sand, and the city approved the plan. Larry karp is a local geotechnical engineer. He did not work on the tower either but specializes in bay area soil conditions. What is under the ground here . Karp what is under the ground here at the surface is rubble from the 1906 earthquake, brick and sand and debris. Everything you could imagine is down here. Wertheim you have to go 200 feet below the Millennium Tower, through layers of history in the ground below landfill from the time of the gold rush, sand, mud and clay to reach solid rock or bedrock. Karp says the fact that the Towers Foundation isnt anchored in bedrock, well, thats a problem. Karp for a big, heavy building, a concrete building, those foundations have to go deeper. For a building like this, they have to go to bedrock. Wertheim otherwise, he says, the structure will sink into less sturdy layers of sand and mud. And because it doesnt sink or settle uniformly, you get tilting. Karp look at the whole line. Wertheim karp told us he can see the tilt from the middle of Mission Street a few blocks away. We couldnt see it, so we asked Jerry Cauthen if he could. Cauthen no, i dont. Its very hard to see. Its not enough of a tilt to see. This is not like the Leaning Tower of pisa. Wertheim and there it is the inevitable comparison to that greatest engineering gaffe of them all not the landmark any presentday developer wants to be associated with. Millennium partners declined our request for an oncamera interview but pointed out their tower was built to code. They blame their neighbors, specifically construction of the transbay terminal San Franciscos answer to Grand Central station right next door. Transbay declined an oncamera interview, too, but told us millennium had already sunk ten inches before work began on their project. And right on cue, here come the lawyers. Lawyers for millennium partners, for the transbay terminal next door, for the towers Structural Engineers and geotechnical engineers, for the architect and the builder, for the Homeowners Association, and for the city. And yes, even for joe montana. There are 20 parties to various Millennium Tower lawsuits and counting. Dodson it takes a half hour just to take attendance of the lawyers in the courtroom. I mean, literally. Wertheim thats a lot of billable hours. Dodson a lot of billable hours. Wertheim courtroom circus aside, we asked aaron peskin, the city supervisor, simply whats going on here . Peskin everybody is afraid to tell the truth, because if we get to the bottom of this, they are worried that it is going to, in some ways, slow down the building boom that is happening in San Francisco. Wertheim time is money in construction, and we dont want to stop this frenzy. Peskin absolutely. Absolutely. Wertheim this drama has hardly had a chilling effect. Everywhere you look in downtown San Francisco, theyre building another skyscraper. And the latest musthave amenity for all these new constructions bedrock. In what might be the first act of buildingonbuilding bullying, tech giant salesforce stuck it to millennium via twitter. Peskin bedrock, baby. Wertheim you think that was in reference to whats going on across the street . Peskin i dont think it was in reference, i know it was in reference because i know the people who built that building. Wertheim the city still doesnt require all skyscrapers to go to bedrock, but it has made some changes to prevent another tower from leaning. More review of foundations for new tall buildings, for one. As for the Millennium Tower, on this almost everyone agrees it needs to be fixed. What do we do with a tilting, sinking building . Cauthen ive heard freeze the ground in perpetuity. Freeze the ground. Wertheim perpetually freeze the ground under this building . Cauthen perpetually freeze the ground. Theyve talked about removing 20 stories from the top of it to reduce its weight. Wertheim what. What do you think of that, lopping off. Cauthen god, i hope they dont have to. Wertheim . Lopping off the top 20 stories . Cauthen shoot, that sounds like a horrible mess. I think more likely the surest way is to get it on piles to rock. Wertheim bedrock. There may be no avoiding it. The parties are in mediation, debating just how to drill down to bedrock under an existing skyscraper with a thousand People Living upstairs. And then, theres the indelicate question who pays for all this . Peskin i am hopeful that the city and millennium and the Homeowners Association will implement a fix in the near term and fight about the money later. But times ticking.

Alma deutscher is an accomplished british composer in the classical style. She is a virtuoso on the piano and the violin. And she is 12 years old. Shes different from other prodigies we have known because at the age of ten she wrote an opera, which demands comprehensive mastery; not just how to play the piano, but what is the range of the oboe . What can a cellist play . We dont know how she understands it all. It seems that alma was born that way. What is your earliest musical memory . Alma deutscher i remember that when i was three, and i listened to this really beautiful lullaby by Richard Strauss, and that was when i really first realized how much i loved music. And i asked my parents, but how can music be so beautiful . Pelley do you remember the melody . Alma deutscher yes. Do you want me to sing it . Pelley please. Alma deutscher sings melody pelley those notes of Richard Strauss ignited a universe. At three, alma was playing piano and violin. When did the composing begin . Alma deutscher when i was four, i just had these melodies and ideas in my head, and i would play them down at the piano. And sometimes my parents would think that i was just remembering music that id already heard before, but i said, no, no, these are my melodies, that i composed. It needs to be much more, i think. Pelley this past summer, in austria, we watched alma prepare her violin concerto and the premiere of her piano concerto. Joji hattori conducts the Vienna Chamber orchestra. Alma deutscher just the clarinet. Joji hattori just the clarinet. Alma deutscher what they really want to hear is the violin and the clarinet. Pelley that night, the soloist was the composer herself. And as you listen, remember, she wrote all the notes for all the instruments. We could see, alma was living a story. A story of loss. A story of redemption. Scales of emotion beyond a child. And yet her vision was almost like wisdom. Do you have any idea where this comes from . Alma deutscher i dont really know, but its really very normal to me to go around. Walk around and having melodies popping into my head. Its the most normal thing in the world. For me, its strange to walk around and not to have melodies popping into my head. So, if i was interviewing you, i would say, well, tell me, scott, how does it feel not having melodies popping into your head . Pelley its very quiet in my head, i must say, but it appears never quiet in hers. Look what happened when we took a break from filming at the deutscher home. Never mind the background noise, thats just the rustle of lunch. This is idle alma. When she has nothing to do, the music flows from its mysterious source as fluently as breath. Do you feel that theres anything about almas gift that you dont understand . Her parents, guy and janie, are professors. She teaches old english literature, and guy is a noted linguist. Both of them are amateur musicians. Guy deutscher we dont understand creativity. Does anyone . I mean, i think thats the crux of the mystery. Where does it come from . This melodies popping into your head, it really is a volcano of imagination. Its almost unstoppable. Pelley it was guy who taught her how to read music. Guy deutscher i thought i was an amazing teacher because, you know, i hardly had to. Pelley you thought it was you Guy Deutscher i thought it was me. I hardly had to say something. And, you know, her piano teacher once said, its a bit difficult with alma. Its difficult to teach her because one always has the sense shed been there before. Janie deutscher she wouldnt be able to imagine life without dreams and stories and music. Thats as unimaginable to her as it is strange for other people to think about a little girl with melodies in her head. Alma deutscher i love getting the melodies. Its not at all difficult to me. I get them all the time. But then, actually sitting down and developing the melodies and thats the really difficult part, having to tell a real story with music. The story alma tells in her opera is cinderella, but its not the cinderella you know. It seemed demeaning to alma that cinderella was attractive just because her feet were small, so she cast cinderella as a composer, and the prince as a poet. Alma Deutscher Cinderella finds a poem that was composed by the prince, and she loves it, and shes inspired to put music to it. And in the ball, she sings it to the prince. 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 shes his soul mate because he understands her. Pelley well, people can fall in love with composers. Alma deutscher exactly. Pelley i think this may be one of those times. They fell in love with cinderella in its first production in vienna. There is another composer who had an opera premiere in vienna at the age of 11 mozart. People compare you to mozart. What do you think of that . Alma deutscher i know that they mean it to be very nice, to compare me to mozart. Pelley it could be worse. Alma deutscher of course, i love mozart, and i would have loved him to be my teacher. But i think i would prefer to be the first alma than to be a second mozart. Pelley in israel, mozart joined alma on stage. She played his piano concerto with a cadenza. In a cadenza, the orchestra stops and the soloist breaks away in music of her own making. Alma deutscher its something that i composed because its a very early concerto of mozart, and the cadenza was very simple. It didnt go to any different keys. And i composed quite a long one, going to lots and lots of different keys, doing lots of things in mozarts motifs. Pelley so, you improved the cadenza of mozart . Alma deutscher well, yes. Robert gjerdingen its kind of a comet that goes by, and everybody looks up and just goes, wow. Pelley Robert Gjerdingen is a professor of music at northwestern in chicago. He has been a consultant to almas education. Gjerdingen i sent her some assignments when she was six, seven, where i expected her to crash and burn because they were very difficult. It came back, it was like listening to a mid18th century composer. She was a native speaker. Pelley a native speaker . Gjerdingen its her first language. She speaks the mozart style. She speaks the style of mendelssohn. Pelley and the names that you just mentioned are the ones that live for centuries. Gjerdingen yes. Shes batting in the big leagues. And if you win the pennant, theres immortality. Pelley the route to immortality leads through california. In december, the san jose orchestra will stage cinderella in almas american debut. Shell be the belle of the ball on the piano, organ and violin. Alma deutscher the piano music teachers say, well you must choose the piano. And the violin music teachers say, oh, you must choose the violin. But anyway, thats better than the piano teacher saying, you must choose the violin. Pelley that would be a bad sign. Alma deutscher that would be a bad sign, yes. Pelley fortunately, she doesnt have to choose. This is her composition, violin concerto number one. Alma deutscher its extremely jolly and very happy and jocular, that movement. I want to make the people who listen to it laugh and be happy. The First Movement of the violin concerto is quite the opposite. Its very dark and dramatic. Pelley what does a girl your age know about dark and dramatic . Alma deutscher well, yes, thats an interesting question because you know what . Im a very happy person, so i have lots of imaginary composers. And one of them is called antonin yellowsink. Pelley antonin yellowsink, almas imaginary composing friend, is an insight into the music of her mind. Alma told us that she made up a country where imaginary composers write, each in his own style of emotion. So, how many composers do you have in your head . Alma deutscher i have lots of composers. And sometimes when im stuck with something, when im composing, i go to them and ask them for advice. And quite often, they come up with very interesting things. Pelley even the real world seems magical. The deutschers moved to the english countryside to be near a Famous School of music. Alma is privately tutored and home schooled alongside her sister helen, who also knows her way around the piano and the tree house. I usually dont ask people your age this question, but, what have you learned about life . Alma deutscher well, i know that. That life is not always beautiful. That theres also ugliness in the world. Thats why i. Ive learned that i want to write beautiful music because i want to make the world a better place. Pelley we cannot know how Alma Deutscher channels her music like a portal in time, but in a world too often ugly and too often overburdened with explanation, it is nice to take a moment and wonder. applause alma composes from four notes pulled out of a hat.
