Vladimir Vladimirovich Sofronitsky (or Sofronitzky; Russian: Владимир Владимирович Софроницкий; May 8 [O.S. April 25] 1901 – August 26,  1961) was a Soviet-Russian classical pianist, best known as an interpreter of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, whose daughter he married. He gave his first solo concert in 1919, and his only foreign tour in France between 1928 and 1929. The only other time he performed outside the Soviet  Union was at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, when he was suddenly sent by Stalin to play for the allied leaders. Sofronitsky taught at the Leningrad Conservatory from 1936 to 1942, and then at the Moscow Conservatory until his death. He gave many performances at the Scriabin Museum in Moscow, especially during the latter part of his career. Although little known in the West, never having toured or recorded there, Sofronitsky was held in the highest regard in his native land.  Sviatoslav Richter and Emil Gilels looked up to Sofronitsky as their master, and famously, when Sofronitsky once drunkenly proclaimed that Richter  was a genius, in return Richter toasted him and proclaimed him a god. Upon hearing of Sofronitsky's death, Gilels was reputed to have said that  "the greatest pianist in the world has died."
