Few composers, conductors, instrumentalists and singers have achieved mature fame but were "child prodigies" to start with. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart showed talent at 4, genius (in public) at 6, which was Josef Hofmann's age at his piano debut and Nellie Melba's when she first sang to Melbourne, Australia.
