Virtuoso pianist's record picked up (5)
I believe the answer is:
liszt
'virtuoso pianist's' is the definition.
(Franz Liszt, 1811-1886)
'record picked up' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'list' (list is a type of record).
'picked up' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'list' is a homophone of 'LISZT'.
(Other definitions for liszt that I've seen before include "Hungarian composer, d. 1886" , "Franz -, Hung. pianist" , "Hungarian piano virtuoso, d. 1886" , "music writer" , "Franz . . . . ., great Hungarian composer" .)
