And here they come, more musical personalities and their lookalikes. This is the second part featuring great pianists, past and present.

Ever thought that
Martha Argerich could have been married to one of the Beatles, as
did Yoko Ono? Maybe its all that wild hair.

Here's what
Vladimir Ashkenazy looked like in his youth, when he could have acted in
The Graduate,
The Marathon Man,
The Rain Man and
Tootsie! Just don't expect
Dustin Hoffmann to play the Rachmaninov piano concertos.

Did anyone tell Singapore National Olympic Council chief
Ng Ser Miang that he was the twin of
Murray Perahia?

Celebrating pianists from the past, former Liszt student
Emil von Sauer and
Percy Grainger.

The whirlwind from the steppes
Vladimir Horowitz and the Lion of Cairo
Ignaz Tiegerman.

Both are Russians:
Vladimir Lenin and
Dmitri Bashkirov.

More Russians, settling in USA. The young
Dmitry Paperno was a spitting image of the composer
George Gershwin. Did he ever get to play
Rhapsody in Blue?

Hungarian-born pianist
Peter Frankl could have been a younger brother of Richard Nixon's Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger.
