From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronald Bertram Smith (January 3, 1922–May 27, 2004) was an English classical pianist, composer and teacher, born in London. He was a champion of piano works from the romantic period; most notably those of Charles-Valentin Alkan, of whom he also wrote a biography. Several CDs of his playing are available at present, most notably those of Alkan's works and excellent recordings of Chopin's Etudes Op.10 and 25. He taught the piano for many years at The King's School, Canterbury, and his pupils included Freddy Kempf.
Smith died in Saltwood, Kent.
