Music of the hemispheres.

I have been thinking about this video a lot today.

Lucy is a 13-year-old girl who lives in the UK. She has autism, and severe learning difficulties and is blind after being born with cancerous tumours in her eyes.

You are about to watch her play Chopin’s Nocturne Op.9 No.1

Wow.
What is going on here?……just imagine what Lucy’s world must be like.
How rich (and overwhelming) might her experiential world be compared to how we judge it to be based on our own cognitive biases and prejudices?


What else do we fail to appreciate around us?
