Of course I can and often am, but the sweet smell of Febreeze only covers up foul odors.

Sorry, but I beg to differ. But then that's your opinion.

There will be only one Horowitz but who's to say there won't be someone else just as special in his or her own right? Yes, it is possible to be great, fantastic, breathtaking in one's own name, with one's own talents and style. Every pianist is different.

Well,if Glenn Gould wasn't the most open-minded pianist i think he was atleast the most experimental one and the greatest interpreter of Johann Sebastians Bach's music.
And when he plays Ludwig Van Beethoven's - Moonlight Sonata third movement i love he's new style to the piece.

But there are many good pianists out there, bad Sergei Rachmaninoff nor Edvard Grieg, Dinu Lipatti,
Gabriel Faurè,Vladimir Horowitz or Glenn Gould are here with us today.

Regards,

It's arguably possible to be the "greatest" sprinter, or the greatest bowler, or the greatest weight-lifter, since those pursuits have singularly focused objectives measurable on linear scales.

But music performance, conducting, and composing? These have neither focused goals nor objective ways to measure achievement.

A consensus may develop that someone is "great," but claims of "greater" or "greatest" are mostly about personal preferences or prejudices.
