Who is the best pianist ever? (jazz, rock, classic, talented)

Not unless he lived a very, very long time. To my knowledge he was born in the 19th century and died in the 20th. Had he been around in the 13th century and had a typical human lifespan its very unlikely that he would have written any piano concertos at all as the piano was invented some time during the 17th (I think) century. In the 13th century he would have been limited to sackbutts, viols and eunuchs singing soprano.
