Perhaps child prodigies can be better understood if we change the way we
look at consciousness. Perhaps consciousness evolves, and when Mozart (or
any other child prodigy) is born, they 'tap into' that evolved consciousness
in a manner different than people normally do. If we don't look at
consciousness as 'my consciousness" but as just 'consciousness', it is
easier to explain such phenomena.

Subject: Re: MD Hi
andrea, your theory on musicians makes a lot of sense. one thing that i
cant
understand is how mozart could write violin sonatas when he was four. a
four
year old mind obviously doesnt have the faculty of comprehending scale
structure and theory, but he nevertheless composed coherent work which
utilized those concepts. i dont htink his unconscious could have been that
developed... the presence of the unconscious faculty in music comes from, i
think, listenting to and analyzing other music, which he could not have done
too much of when he was four.
