Where is Christmas music better than at a children's recital?
Her older sister is a composer as well as a pianist. The kids were all telling me their favorite songs: "Twinkle, Twinkle," "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph!" Chloe (6) casually said "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." She played that in the recital.
One day while she was practicing the piano, she composed The Einstein Polka. "I just wrote down the notes while I figured out a tune." She's even got pedal written in (it's hard to know what the E, or backwards 3 means. I may not be advanced enough to recognize the symbol.)I don't know if Mozart's grandparents kept copies of his first pieces, but I've got this filed away, just in case I ever have to prove that I knew her when.
I've always known we're children of God, but I've decided it would be better to be grandchildren. We'd all be guaranteed a place in heaven. After all, there's nobody more perfect than a grandchild!

Thank you Oma, for spotlighting my girlies. They truly are amazing. I had nothing to do with their abilities. They really came from heaven like this.
How precious! and I know you are proud. Keep those written scores, as they may be handy when she ends up in Carnegie Hall!
How adorable. I'd keep every written thing possible too Marty...you never know. These little ones are just beautiful....there's nothing more special.
I have a feeling we're all going to want to claim knowing Chloe someday!
