Derek Paravicini was born prematurely 32 years ago, and doctors did not think he would survive.

He is blind and severely autistic, but has a unique talent that has stunned the music world - he can play any piece of music after hearing it only once.

Now he is to make make musical history when he performs a concerto written especially for him at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall.

Tim Muffett met him.

What comes to mind with me, is with this talent and disability, how will he handle "mistakes" and inconsistencies by other musicians. I can't really imagine he'd make mistakes himself as his senses are well... finetuned, but not all musicians playing with him are like that.
