Malcolm Frager was an American classical pianist who was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1935. He achieved professional recognition after winning the International Music Competition in Geneva (1955) and the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Brussels (1960). Frager is famous for his research into original musical manuscripts and for performing definitive first versions of concertos by Robert Schumann and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. He made a Carnegie Hall debut in 1960 performing Sergei Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 6. His discography includes a Grammy-nominated recording of Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 (1960) and solo recordings of works by Mozart, Chopin, and Weber. In 1987, the International Mozart Foundation awarded him the Golden Mozart Pin. Frager’s library of recovered manuscripts is housed at the Eastman School of Music. He died in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in 1991.
