Gabi Coatsworth asked Barbara Linn Probst:

Do you have a background in classical music? The way you write about it in The Sound Between the Notes suggests you do...

Barbara Linn Probst I do! I studied piano when I was young and then returned to a serious study a number of years ago. I've played most of the pieces in the book. Most of the Schubert is too difficult for me, but I set myself the goal of learning the exquisite second movement this winter—it seemed like the best way to celebrate the book's publication! You can see some photos of me at the piano on my website and also of my Dad playing the violin at four years old in Poland.
