Answer 2

Do you mean who was the best composer for the piano or who is the best player, It's a different thing. The best ever piano player only really goes back 300 odd years, therefore most of them would be classed as "modern" (ish). Also, the "best", most technically gifted player may be from a genre which you don;t really like and would therefore no, in fact, be the best for you. Anyhow, if we're talking composers and technical adeptness then, Liberace, Stevie Wonder, Scott Joplin and guys like Elton John etc would be a good starting point.

Answer 3

One of the best piano players was Franz Liszt. He was soo good piano player that even composed piano music. In his natal language He was Ferenc Liszt.

He was so popular that some compare Him with the top stars in our time, even the big and famous icons, nowadays.

He was strong, big, rich, intelligent, handsome, good piano performer and composer. He was also an innovator with his behavior, as a big rock star.

Today, a famous piano player doesn't mean to be the best performer, it depends on what kind of music...

I do really hope You to find the best...
