He can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly,his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare. However, Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music at the same time as his majors.

Samuel says confidently,“Its all about super memory and the passion for it—I guess I have both of them.”
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future. For now, out of strong love of
