Par SINDING CHRISTIAN. Christian Sinding (1856-1941) gained worldwide fame with his piano piece 'Frühlingsrauschen', which is likely to be his most famous work still today. The '5 Klavierstücke' Op. 97, created in 1909, are bravura pieces the late Romantic harmony of which is sometimes reminiscent of Richard Strauss. The effective brilliant piano setting is characterised by a widely elaborated melody and can be easily mastered by the advanced player. Large arpeggios characterise the first piece 'Des Morgens'. 'Auf dem Wasser' is an evocative tone painting in swaying 12/8 time with powerful unison passages in the middle section. 'Intermezzo' appears capricious, with dance-like figures. 'Gewitter' is a brilliant concert study in the style of Liszt. The work concludes with the piece 'Aquarell', a poetic salon piece revelling in harmonies, notated as a clear piano setting./ Répertoire / Piano

Christian August Sinding born in 1856 studied music in addition to his academic studies throughout his school years taking violin with Gudbrand Bøhn and music theory with L.M. Lindeman one of the most important musicians in Christiana (later renamed Oslo). In 1874 he followed the path of his famous countryman Edvard Grieg by going to Leipzig to study. There his violin teacher was Schradieck and his theory and composition teacher was Jadassohn. It became obvious that his major talent was for composition so he gave up his violin studies in favor of it. Piano sonata written in 1909.
