    		My first thought was John Williams, but that's 4,8.

    		Abel Carlevaro --

    In a letter to Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco from the late 50's Segovia writes:"...three of the guitarists contending for first prize in Geneva are among my best students: the Spaniard Narciso Yepes, the Venezuelan Alirio Diaz, and the Uruguayan Abel Carlevaro."

    		Realistically, there are two best answers, neither of which are 4,9: Christopher Parkening and John Williams.

    This list doesn't include any prominent students who fit the 4,9 spacing.

    "To be invited to play in master classes given by Segovia was, to say the least, an interesting experience.... Among the sixty or seventy people gathered there are a number of faces one recognises from record covers – Ghiglia, Lorimer, Fierens, Barbosa Lima, Evangelos and Liza [Assimakopoulos], Parkening."

    		Whoops, didn't run across Carlevaro, who fits. Sorry.

    		Had it been 4,8 I'd have said John Williams plus my late grandpa Ivor Mairants, who just had one lesson but could still have made the claim after a 70 year professional career.
