Young Geniuses
What does Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Paul McCartney, and MLT have in common?
Beethoven wrote his first music piece when he was 11 and continued writing music throughout his life. Mozart wrote his first piece at 5, and continued writing through out his life. Bach wrote his first music piece at 10 and wrote music throughout his life, with his most well known works starting well into his 30s. Paul McCartney wrote his first song at 14 and continues writing to this day, with the latest being Now and Then collaboration with all the other Beatles. Mona and Lisa wrote their first tender masterpiece at 13, and 12 albums later we are all on their incredible music journey, and the best is yet to come.

Neat topic, Jung! The only contribution I can think of to add is this chart-topping hit from 1956 by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, which Frankie co-wrote at age 13. (The song begins at the 2:16 mark.)

Thanks for sharing this David. Why Do Fools Fall In Love is certainly a great song, covered by many big artists later like the Beach Boys.
Your post reminds me of another child prodigy, Michael Jackson. He started writing songs at age 9.
