Malcolm Troup, who has died aged 91, was a distinguished pianist, musicologist and educator. He was also my predecessor as chairman of the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe.

Born in Toronto, Malcolm was the son of William Troup, a cattle farmer turned stockbroker, and Wendela (nee Seymour Conway), a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music. She was Malcolm’s first piano teacher, and he displayed remarkable early talent.
