Franklin Taylor was a popular pianist and teacher in London, who had studied at the Leipzig Conservatoire with Plaidy and Moscheles between 1859 and 1861. In 1863, he travelled to Paris where he took lessons with Clara Schumann for a short while. He was an enthusiastic supporter of her playing and later on probably also met up with her in London during her numerous stays. Taylor was head teacher of piano at the Royal College of Music in London, newly founded in 1882. He also ‘worked as a publicist and wrote many articles for Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians, including an article on Clara Schumann’s piano playing and her compositions.
