Frederic Lamond (pianist)

Frederic Archibald Lamond (28 January 1868 – 21 February 1948)[1] was a Scottish classical pianist and composer, and the second-last surviving pupil of Franz Liszt.

Lamond also became acquainted with Anton Rubinstein in Germany, hearing him conduct and play many times there, and later in Russia in the 1890s.

In 1893 Lamond was invited by Vasily Safonov to Moscow to play Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto in B-flat minor, Op.
