Emily Bear componeerde een stuk voor piano en cello.
De studio-opname was bij en onder toezicht van Quincy Jones voor haar 6e album; zij was toen 11 jaar oud. Quincy Jones bemoeide zich enkel met de opnametechniek en liet de muzikale regie verder over aan Emily.

Qoute van Zuill Bailey
( Zuill Bailey about Emily's sixth album 'Diversity' recorded at age 11)
Zull Bailey, classical cellist, Artistic Director of El Paso Pro Musica (Texas), Artistic Director of the Sitka Music Festival (Alaska) and Professor of Cello at University of Texas at El Paso:

Emily Bear is obviously classically trained. But she’s not just an interpreter and performer. She writes her own music. Everything that you hear on that album came from her. She wrote everyone’s part. She directed us. One forgets within minutes that you’re listening to someone who is a child. : She is an absolutely exceptional… It’s literally... It makes one believe the myths and the grandeur of what Mozart would have been like had you met him. This person is so purely gifted that music simply pours out of her. It pours out with such joy and creativity and spontaneity that you just stand back in awe.
It’s rather mind-boggling. This ability comes around so rarely. I believe the word prodigy is so so so overused for business tactics and salability.
