Christian August Sinding, born in 1856, studied music in addition to his academic studies throughout his school years, taking violin with Gudbrand Bohn 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.
