A week ago I would have said this was a remarkable performance in mimicry. I just completed reading Gabriel Lanyi's Uscolia (Learning Without Teaching) and one of the key modes of "native learning" (what you use to learn to speak your language) is immersion in music. Not just any kind of music but Classical Romanticists like Back and Beethoven. Simple repetitive exposure over time allows the child to assimilate music as a second language and has brain modifying attributes which enhance further native learning.

This child seems to have had the benefits of an Uscolian learning environment and I would not be surprised if he can read music scores as well as an adult conductor.

Lanyi's book is availavable as a free download under the title Uscolia, from Amazon on kindle. I was so impressed with this book that this morning I bought a printed copy.

That little guy had it down pat, I wonder if the conductor was his father or maybe even his mother?

If you watch his actions closely you will see that he is anticipating the changes, not reacting to them. This may be a nascent Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
