Alexey Romanov is inspiring the world one melody at a time by showing that the only thing he needs to play the piano is – not even fingers – but heart.

Born with a debilitating illness that robbed him of his fingers, the 16-year-old prodigy fell in love with Mozart and Vivaldi after being adopted two years ago and started learning to play the piano. Alexey's two friends are credited with teaching him to read sheet music and identify keys.

Thanks to his performance in February with the respected La Primavera chamber orchestra from Kazan, Alexey was invited to join a music school in the Tatarstan capital.

Because the school specializes in teaching children with disabilities, the young Russian pianist has been thriving. His performance on national television has earned him praise and recognition from fans worldwide, saying he is an inspiration to them all.
