Matt Haimovitz is 42 and a renowned cellist in the world. He rushed into the classical music scene at the age of 12 after Itzhak Perlman, the famed violinist, heard him play. But nothing in his family history explains where Haimovitz got his extraordinary talent. And that's typical, Ellen Winner, a professor says. "People are fascinated by these children because they don't understand where their talent came from. You will see parents who say, 'I wasn't like this, and my husband wasn't like this.' It seems to sometimes just come out of the blue," Winner says. It's not clear whether a prodigy's brain is any different from the brains of other children, in part because there have been no study comparing the brains of prodigies to those of average people. "But I believe that anything that shows up so early, without training, has got to be either a genetic or some other biological basis," Winner says. "If a child suddenly at the age of 3 goes to the piano and picks out a tune and does it beautifully, that has to be because that child has a different brain." Children who are extremely gifted tend to be socially different, too, Winner says. "They feel like they can't find other kids like themselves, so they feel strange, maybe even like a freak, and feel like they don't have anybody to connect with. On the other hand, they also long to connect with other kids, and they can't find other kids like themselves." As Haimovitz got older, he became frustrated. He wanted to play other kinds of music but felt constricted by the image and the expectations of the boy prodigy who played classical music and filled concert halls. "When you start that early, you suddenly start to grow up in public, and I wanted to experiment," Haimovitz says. So he took his cello into punk rock clubs and coffee houses. He played Bach, Haydn and Hendrix. "My teacher was Leonard Rose, and we never played any 20th-century music. He didn't like it. But once I was exposed to James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix, Miles Dewey Davis El and others, I couldn't really turn back. I wanted to know more," he says.

Matt Haimovitz är 42 och en känd cellist i världen. Han rusade in på den klassiska musikscenen vid 12 års ålder efter att Itzhak Perlman, den berömde violinisten, hört honom spela. Men ingenting i hans familjehistoria förklarar var Haimovitz fick sin utomordentliga talang. Det är typiskt, säger en professor. "Folk fascineras av dessa barn eftersom de inte förstår varifrån deras talang kom. Du kommer att se föräldrar som säger, "Jag var inte så här, och min man var inte så här. " Det verkar ibland bara komma ur det blå, säger vinnaren. Det är inte klart om ett underbarns hjärna skiljer sig från andra barns hjärnor, delvis för att det inte har gjorts någon studie som jämför underbarn med vanliga människors hjärnor. "Men jag tror att allt som dyker upp så tidigt, utan träning, måste vara antingen en genetisk eller någon annan biologisk grund", säger Winner. "Om ett barn plötsligt vid 3 års ålder går till pianot och plockar ut en melodi och gör den vackert, så måste det bero på att det barnet har en annan hjärna." Barn som är extremt begåvade tenderar också att vara socialt annorlunda, säger Winner. "De känner att de inte kan hitta andra barn som de själva, så de känner sig konstiga, kanske till och med som ett missfoster, och känner att de inte har någon att umgås med. Å andra sidan längtar de också efter att få kontakt med andra ungar, och de kan inte hitta andra ungar som de själva." När Haimovitz blev äldre blev han frustrerad. Han ville spela andra typer av musik men kände sig begränsad av bilden och förväntningarna hos det pojkunderbarn som spelade klassisk musik och fyllde konsertsalar. "När man börjar så tidigt börjar man plötsligt växa upp offentligt, och jag ville experimentera", säger Haimovitz. Så han tog sin cello till punkrockklubbar och kaffehus. Han spelade bland annat Bach, Haydn och Hendrix. "Min lärare var Leonard Rose, och vi spelade aldrig någon 1900-talsmusik. Han gillade det inte. Men när jag blev utsatt för James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix, Miles Dewey Davis El och andra, kunde jag inte vända om. Jag ville veta mer, säger han. Skriv en lista med frågor på grundval av artikeln och följande svar. 1. 42 2. Itzhak Perlman 3. 12 4. Nr 5. Det är inte klart 6. Ja, 7. Han ville spela andra typer av musik 8. punkrockklubbar 9.
