2. Gadi Lehavi, piano jazz artist -- Israel -- known professional performances since 12 years old

is it possible to be a truly GREAT child musician? Very good, way better than others perhaps, but great? Greatness usually requires some time to gel.

I agree with Sarah Chang. No other musician(I know of) has her resume of work while being under 18.

As far as most world class classical concert pianists are concerned, most of them were probably prodogies and most started playing 5 years old or younger, Argerich, Perahia, Serkin, Rubinstein, Hofman, Kissin, Lang Lang are examples. A few started serious study later (Richter for one even though he played from a young age) and to me THESE are the one's that are true prodigies, a difficult instrument to start late on and become a world class musician.

How about Red Garland, started playing at 17 years old.
