The story of Derek Paravicini - the nephew of the Duchess of Cornwall - is to be made into a film by the team behind The King's Speech.
A screenplay for the film is being written by David Seidler, who won an Oscar and a Bafta for The King's Speech.
The film will be based on the book In The Key Of Genius, reports The Mail.
Paravicini was born in Reading, the son of Mary Ann Parker Bowles. Paravicini's aunt by marriage was Camilla, later Duchess of Cornwall.
Paravicini was born at 25 weeks with a twin sister, who did not survive.
He was blinded by an overdose of oxygen therapy as a baby which affected his developing brain, resulting in him having a severe learning disability.
Paravicini can play any piece of music after hearing it once and began playing the piano at the age of two when his nanny gave him an old keyboard.
His parents arranged for him to attend the Linden Lodge School for the Blind in London. On his first visit to the school, in the music room, he broke free from his parents, then headed straight for a piano being played.
He pushed the player aside to take over. The player encouraged him and arranged lessons. At age seven, Paravicini gave his first concert in London.
At the age of nine, Paravicini played with the Royal Philharmonic Pops Orchestra, appeared on Wogan and was the main subject of a documentary called Musical Savants.
He was presented with a Barnardo's Children's Champion Award by Diana, Princess of Wales.
Paravicini's first album Echoes of the Sounds to Be was released in 2006. His official biography, In the Key of Genius by Adam Ockelford, was published in 2007.
He has featured in numerous TV documentaries in the UK and USA
