William Murdoch was born at Bendigo, a gold-mining town in the State of Victoria, Australia. While quite a child he was sent to Melbourne to study music and at the age of thirteen had won every prize in Australia. Four years later he won the Clarke scholarship to the Royal College of Music in London. He has made England his home ever since, although his tours have taken him all over the world.
After four years at the R.C.M. he went with Clara Butt to South Africa as solo pianist. His concerts and broadcasts of pianoforte and violin sonatas with Albert Sammons are. well known both to Empire listeners and to those in this country. In 1933 he published a biography and study of Brahms, following it up the next year with a life of Chopin.
