Conrad was eighteen months old when he crawled（爬）up on a piano bench and began playing some tunes he had heard on the radio.At three he wrote his first piano piece,which he named “Congrajulashons” because,like Mozart,he could compose music before he could spell.
At ten,Conrad studied at Juilliard School in New York City,one of the best music schools in the world.He spent five hours a day playing the violin and the piano.“I’m like and unlike other children,” he said.“I’m interested in the same things as other children,such as books and films.And I’m not such a big fan of practising,but I have to do it.”
Early this year Conrad won a big competition for young composers（作曲家）.He was the youngest of the more than 450 youths entered.
