Martha Argerich
Not much was ordinary concerning Argerich's life. As a kid in Buenos Aires, she revealed musical talent early and, driven by her mum and home-schooled by her dad, studied intensely with a powerful Italian-born pedagogue called Vincenzo Scaramuzza (who said that Argerich could have been but her spirit was 40).
