More Information (Dales Radio is not responsible for external websites)

Are the social media geniuses greater than people from previous centuries? Here are 5 musical prodigies who made their fortunes with an ink pen and a piece of paper. George Gershwin earned the equivalent of $300,000 before he was 18. Rossini wrote his first opera aged 14 and retired at 37. Mozart had written 125 pieces by the age of 16. They’re the whizz-kids. Felix Mendelssohn wrote his Midsummer Night’s Dream music aged 17, but he’d already written his Octet for strings - another glorious masterpiece. And there’s Benjamin Britten as well. Thinking it’ll be childish tinkling? Think again!
