<p>A seven-year-old girl in UK has become a classical music sensation after composing her own version of a coveted opera.<br /><br />Alma Deutscher is not only an accomplished composer, she is also a skilled violinist and pianist and her first major composition has been highly commended by the English National Opera.</p>.<p>Deutscher started composing by the time she was five and wrote a sonata at the age six followed by her opera, the 'Daily Mail' reported.<br /><br />Videos of her work have been viewed more than 300,000 times since her father shared them on YouTube - and her abilities have led to comparisons with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who by five had mastered the keyboard and violin and started composing.<br />Alma wrote her own opera, The Sweeper of Dreams, this year.<br /><br />"The music comes to me when I'm relaxing. I go and sit down on a seat or lie down. I like thinking about fairies a lot, and princesses, and beautiful dresses," Alma said.<br /><br />She added that her best compositions are created when she is on the swing in the garden at her home, but she keeps a tape recorder by her bed for when inspiration strikes.<br /><br />The idea for The Sweeper of Dreams - which narrowly missed out on a place in the final of an English National Opera contest for adult composers - came in a dream.</p>.<p>"Mozart composed this piece in my dream and when I got up, I sat down and played it and my father recorded it," she said.<br /><br />Alma's father Guy Deutscher, an Israeli-born linguist and amateur flautist, said he realised his daughter had a connection with music when she was a baby.<br /><br />She was given her first violin for her third birthday and in less than a year she was playing Handel sonatas.<br /><br />Deutscher and his wife Janie, who was an organ scholar at Oxford, moved with Alma and her four-year-old sister Helen from Oxford to Surrey so that they could be closer to the specialist Yehudi Menuhin School in Cobham, where Alma has weekly piano and violin lessons.<br /><br />Alma, meanwhile, is working on a cello sonata that she was commissioned to write after performing one of her compositions in Italy. </p>
