Beginning of the composer’s lifetime.
About the composer
Maarten Smit was born in The Netherlands and continues to live there today. He began learning to play the piano when he was nine years old. This early start gave him a foundation in music that he has carried with him throughout his life. Although he does not work professionally in music, his connection to the piano remains strong.
Currently, Maarten’s job is not related to music. Despite this, he spends time at the piano to express himself creatively. He enjoys making up music on the spot, exploring new ideas through improvisation. This shows that music is still an important part of his life on a personal level.
In addition to improvising, Maarten also likes to compose pieces on the piano. This activity allows him to create original music and develop his skills further. His continued dedication to playing and composing highlights his passion for music outside of his everyday work commitments.
