Lead
Some more explanation, for a good start. The first section (lead / introduction) should be a summary of the below, and should only contain facts which appear in the article (body) with a reference, - stress on reference. So, feel free to add a performance at a recent festival (but avoid "recent", "current", "today" because it will be wrong soon) with an independent source, best a review. Personal websites and management's sites are not independent. One more: avoid close paraphrasing, - copying from other sites is permitted only when marked as such by quotation marks, and a reference. Finally: phrases such as "international podium" are considered "purple language". Did you know that on the German Wikipedia, the introduction would just say "is a pianist", even for great masters in history? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

More advice
May I give you some more advice? Don't put many different things in one edit. I'd normally just revert an edit like todays. Instead, I fixed some things:
 * lied is a fine English word, "vocal-" is not better, no italics for lied.
 * "play together with" tells every reader that you are German ;)
 * Klaviertrio Hannover is a fine name for an ensemble. Will the article be created soon? Otherwise better no link. I don't recommend a translation to English, but IF, it would be Hanover Piano Trio. (I studied in Hannover, so dislike the English version.)
 * Beethoven CD
 * When a piece - or here: pieces - has an article, we link that, not the composer.
 * Pieces italic when real titles (Fidelio), but not when generic titles such as Piano Quartets (but capitals!)
 * In English, not op. but Op., and with a link when mentioned the first time.
 * I doubt that the label is of encyclopedic importance.
 * We need a reference for that CD!
 * The references for the Beethovenfest performance years ago are gone, - can you replace them? (Friends were there.)
 * How about mentioning the Waterhouse CD as well? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:55, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
