    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martinus_Sieveking "Martinus Sieveking (March 24, 1867 – November 26, 1950) was a Dutch virtuoso pianist, composer, teacher and inventor born in Amsterdam. " "Sieveking had large muscular hands with a reach of 12 notes (e.g., C3 to G4), similar in reach to Sergei Rachmaninoff's. His hands were so large that he found it hard to play on ordinary sized keyboard, his fingers get stuck in between the black keys." "With purpose of teaching and spreading the system he developed, he returned to America arriving in New York City on January 30, 1916 aboard the SS Rotterdam departing from Rotterdam."
