Blind toddler hailed musical genius

A BLIND toddler from a small village in Slovakia has been playing classics from Mozart and Bach on the piano since he was two years old, as abcnews reported. 

After learning by ear from watching his favorite cartoon, Duck Tales, three year-old Branko Dvorecky is now entertaining locals with classical music renditions - despite never taking a single piano lesson. The locals have dubbed him "a little Mozart."

"When he was a baby he used to love playing with musical toys and would often just hit the keys on our old synth," his mother, Elena Dvorecky said. "Then he started to listen to classical music and loved it so much he began to learn the notes.

"He can only say a few words and yet he can play Bach."
