The father of Jeanne has not been identified to date to the author. It is only anticipation if Jeanne has been inspired not only musically by "Franz Liszt". In the line of succesion: Brothers Karel A.H. Sindorff (1841-1896), his son Frans R.H. Sindorff (1914-1952) & Frans P.H. Sindorff (1843-1910), his son Frans H. Sindorff. It is maybe a half brother of Frans H. Sindorff, Lourens Sindorff (left to US at age 1 with legal father Johannes Sindorff and legal mother Aafje Kievit from the Netherlands, Haarlemmermeer) born 1870/1871 from a possible relationship/marriage between Frans P.H. Sindorff & Josephine M.H. Thissen and may be their son Lourens, who may have married Antoinette Duerinckx, burried in Orbais, but that is not confirmed. More likely that the son of Frans P.H. Sindorff, Guillaume F.H. Sindorff, who married Petronille J.M. van Laethem. Their child Pierre H. Sindorff may have married Antoinette. Antoinette was a sister of the Belgium painter Adrien Paul Francois Duerinckx. "By ministerial decision of October 1963, Antoinette was honorably discharged from office with effect from September 1, 1962. Antoinette was monitor at the Royal Music Conservatory in Brussels. The person concerned is authorized to claim a retirement pension".

Jeanne grew up in a musical family with Jeanne's mother, Antoinette Duerinck-Sindorff. Jeanne studied at the Royal Music Conservatory in Brussels, was a piano teacher at the Academy of Brussels (Conservatoire de Bruxelles) in Belgium became a composer and teacher from 1962-1964 at the Music Academy in Etterbeek Belgium, also in solfège. Wikipedia: “Solfège is the systematic training of the musical ear by means of a musical singing exercise, in which the melody is sung without the text and using only the names of the notes. The purpose of this exercise is to increase musical hearing and also to increase accuracy with regard to rhythm and melody by singing without preliminary study of the sheet. Solfège falls under music didactics.”

Source Aaron I. Cohen author : "Jeanne was, mainly self-taught in composition, a pupil of Sylvain Vouillemin and won a second award in harmony. Jeanne also studies at the Schumann Conservatory, Düsseldorf, Germany. At the Mons Conservatory Jeanne won the first award. Jeanne composed a piano concerto".

Piano: fragment

Commentaire du vendeur DJ Olivier Verset: (I have been a record store owner for a very long time and listen to a lot of music..But I am also already classical DJ (soul ableta on kiosk radio) and an amateur pianist..): 'very invisble pianist from Belgium, but defenetly an essential interpretation of the 'Hard To Play' composer FRANZ LISZT, i am a huge fan of Liszt music for piano but it is very hard to find interpret who plays it with SPIRIT / SENSITIVE vein ( most of the pianist only take the virtuosity side ). This Liszt récital is fine from begin to end, amazing sensitive way of playing the composer on

piano by Jeanne Lemaire Sindorff.. very quiet and deep record, lots of colors and mellow times'..

"Jeanne's Concertino in G for piano and chamber orchestra (1931) dates from 1961 and consists of three clearly distinct movements. The first part is rhapsodic in form and takes place in a climate that is by turns robust, lyrical, sensitive and sometimes slightly irreverent. The second part, in elegiac form, is a page of great beauty. We find sensitivity, depth and sincerity in the passionate breath of expression. The finale is a sort of rapid and brilliant toccata, demanding both for the soloist and for the different groups of the orchestra. This concertino, whose writing style is not similar to any of the great contemporary schools, reveals a young, warm, direct and enthusiastic personality".

Jeanne marries Géry Lemaire, who was born in Guignies, Hainaut Belgium on 26 February 1926 and passed away on 19 September 2013. Géry, a pianist, was also a conductor and released numerous albums in France. Géry co-founded the Soloist of Liège with Henri Koch in 1964, a chamber music group.

Jeanne and Géry have at least one (grand) son Lemaire.

Is this Jeanne at later age (connected to Johanne)?
