Pianists with a small hand but a very good octave technique

[pianoplayjl]

Seeing that octaves, double octave playing are an integral part of a pianist's technique, does anyone know of any pianists with small hands but an outstanding octave technque? I know this sounds a bit contradictory, but I was just wondering. Perhaps pianists with only a ninth span? Ofc, hands sizes must play a part in octave playing....

Billy Mayerl, according to my teacher, who knew him, had quite small hands but amazing dexterity and speed with octaves.
