Bill Hopkins

G.W. (Bill) Hopkins (5 June 1943 – 10 March 1981) was a British composer, pianist and music critic. Hopkins was born in Prestbury, Cheshire and educated at Rossall School, Lancashire; his mother's learning difficulties meant she was unable to look after him, and he was raised by aunts. An encounter with Luigi Nono at Dartington consolidated his interest in serialism; subsequently he studied at Oxford University with Edmund Rubbra and Egon Wellesz. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Bill+Hopkins
