	Hailed as a genius and national hero, likened to Einstein and Gandhi, Paderewski rose from provincial obscurity to become the most famous pianist in history—the twentieth century's first superstar—as well as Prime Minister of Poland. For more than fifty years, until his death in 1941, he was a household name, and all over the world "Paddymania" was rife. Audiences swooned—at least a dozen ladies had to be "carried out in a fainting condition" when he performed in Edinburgh in 1894; he was mobbed in Paris, London and all over America, besieged with love letters and proposals of marriage.
