Music

In case you do not know me well enough yet: I love music.

I have been privileged enough to take piano lessons from Elena, an amazing human being with a seemingly infinite amount of musical wisdom. I have very much enjoyed those lessons, and am now adventuring the wonderful world of music on my own.

Currently learning:

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Sonate C Major K. 309, 1st movement. You can find a recording by Mitsuko Uchida here.
  • Hania Rani - Eden. You can find a recording by Hania Rani here.

Compositions

When I have time, I compose my own piano music. When I am happy with the recording, I will upload it to Youtube. Information about the current state of my compositions can be found in my notes – filter so you only see music related notes.

Repertoire

Below is a list of pieces that I feel (somewhat) comfortable performing, in order of when I learned to play them. The latests pieces are at the top of the list. If I have a recording of a particular piece available, you can click on the name to open it.
