Members pogo97 Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 My piano teacher was a musician in the armed forces. So... Lieutenant Michael Nold holds, so far, the highest rank in this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pinkfloydcramer61 Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 MozartBeethovenLiberacePaul SchafferMy 7th grade music teacher... Here's another vote for 7th grade music teacher! Mine was the best piano player I ever heard in my life. My classmates thought so, too. We would sit behind the piano and soak up the overtones.

Members Purity_Control Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm not sure the gothic make-up would suit him? Or most people out of their 20s for that matter. And not most of them in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cygnus64 Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 I found someones old 'unfinished' list of players:6. Glenn Gould31. Alfred Brendel49. Van Cliburn The classical guys should be on a list of their own. There are literally thousands of em. The ones that make a list like this had some hit record or other way of becoming a quasi-household name, but there are a ridicuous amount of classical guys that could make a list like this.

Members Gribs Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 When I read the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about keyboard players who hold/held rank as an officer in a military. If it is going to be laundry lists of keyboard players then separating into genres would be a good idea. For classical players one could also separate into "interpreters" (of Chopin, Bartok, etc).
