Pachmann's Vision of Chopin and its Relevancy for the Twenty-first CenturyNotes; Bibliography; Index 330 $a Vladimir de Pachmann was perhaps history's most notorious pianist. Widely regarded as the greatest player of Chopin's works, Pachmann embedded comedic elements-be it fiddling with his piano bench or flirting with the audience-within his classic piano recitals to alleviate his own anxiety over performing.
