Alkan was said to be the greatest pianist ever, although he wrote his compositions rather late compared to Chopin. His technique was the best one has ever seen.

Also Carl Filtsch would have been one of the greatest musicians if he didn’t die at age 14, he was a student of Chopin and was favored by many.

Also Beethoven is pretty interesting and controversial on this subject..
