Sort of an “all-round pianist”. I specialized in popular music and jazz in my education, but have focused mostly on classical in later years. I do some occasional arranging and composing.

Re: Sindre's practice diary
@Juan Carlos Olite Thank you, Juan Carlos! One of my favorites too! Since Mozart has written most of his sonatas in the major key, it becomes really special when he writes this one in the minor.…

Re: Sindre's practice diary
@Qingzhi I love it too! Pretty much love Mozarts writing, and how he just keeps the momentum going in this one. Barenboim is incredible, have not listened to his recording of this, but I will :)

@Carole Kincaid Yes, there are several 10ths, but I roll most of these. I have medium-sized hands and can usually reach a 10th, but with an added 7th in there it gets highly uncomfortable.…
