pianist
Let an agent explain the pianist as a musical role, relay training, styles and careers from music sources, describe the roles the registry aliases name, and distinguish pianists from organists, harpsichordists, keyboard players in bands and piano tuners.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
