I am curious to know if there are here a few (or tons) of fans of piano music in the broadest possible sense:
- hard core classical music like Mozart, Haydn, Schubert
- contemporary classical like Debussy or Satie
- hard core avantgarde like Schรถnberg or Stockhausen
- so-called modern / minimal piano light ballades like Einaudi, Nyman, Glass
- Pop instrumentals (for piano...)
- Latin (salsa, tango, bossa nova...)
or any other category I am forgetting now
For instance, is there any K-pop for solo piano?
Great fan of the piano.
Mostly of
- contemporary classical like Debussy or Satie
- hard core avantgarde like Schรถnberg or Stockhausen
- so-called modern / minimal piano light ballades like Einaudi, Nyman, Glass
My favorite is Olivier Messiean of the avantgarde.
And two i found on spotify of the modern/minimal kind
Carlos Cipa
Stefano Guzzetti
This is great, Roberto (ยฟitaliano?).
I fon't think it is still possible to do interests groups on Spotify, but we shold definitely try to find a way of sticking together or at least in connection. For instance, I didn't know the 2 artists you mention and they are enriching my music library now.
Are you also an artist or mainly a "user"?
Messiaen is also one of my idols... not only his piano music, of course.

Hi Juan,
Im dutch. No Italiano. Sadly ๐ because it is a beautifull country.
I wish also there was an interrestgroup of classical music. Now i try to respond to the few messages there are on the playlist exchange. I will follow you on spotify and include a few off your songs in my list. Always intterested in new artists. I myself enjoy listening but do not play myself.
Feel free to listen to the piano playlists on spotify. You will probaly find yourself in 1 of them in the future.

Greetings,
Hi Roberto, now I understand the "NL" in your nickname...
A nice suprise that you are following my profile (I am also following yours...) and that you consider including some of my music in your playlists.
By the way, I composed a piece called "Rutilance (prelude a la maniere de Messiaen)" which will be a perfect pitch for your other playlist - when I record it... some day. I played it live on several ocassions but there is not even a version on Youtube yet. I will let you know.
best

is your music? nice sound. Adding to my playlist modern piano
I do like all!
Prefer classical.

I like "classical" piano (if you want to get "picky", Mozart and Haydn were from the Classical period, Schubert and Beethoven were from the Romantic period) but not a steady diet of piano solos. Same with harpsichord and organ. I do love chamber music from those eras that includes piano (or not), though--trios, quartets, quintets, etc. My favorite pianist of all time has to be Artur Rubenstein.
Interesting. Did you compose most of the music on your albums?
@rosiecar about classical... when I studied music history, neo-classical were Prokofiev or Strawinsky, maybe Poulenc & Co. Now, under neo-classical they mean Ludovico Einaudi. Which technically would be neo-romantic.
@rosiecar Is a mix; it depends on which album. The initial formula was 2/3 my music, 1/3 by others. In the next one I will include one Chopin waltz (and one Chinese popular melody!), the rest is mine.
But on my album with Saxophone, only 1/4 were my own compositions.
It depends.

If you like classical music, you might like my Classical period playlist. https://open.spotify.com/user/rosiecar92/playlist/043rURgdVRFe0Sr5K4yTwR
It's a work in progress, as I'm starting with one piece or work by each Classical period composer (that I can find), in order of the composer's birth. I'm compiling this in part for music to study with, so there's no vocal music (opera, choral, etc.) nor organ solos. I also don't include much solo harpsichord or piano, but piano/harpsichord ensembles and piano concertos are included. I still have a long way to go (there were a LOT of composers in that period), and I may add a second or even third "round" of pieces for each composer (how do you pick just ONE work by Mozart or Haydn?).
I just discovered a Classical comopser named Leopold Kozeluch. He wrote a TON of sonatas for piano (as well as ensembles), and Spotify has a ton to choose from. Here's his page: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7C5oAOwd8u6WbaKEn7NJEl
@rosiecar consider including also some piano music by Dussek., You put a Symphonie, I know. He was a personal friend of Mozart, as you possibly know.
best wishes

If I add another piece by each composer, I will look into that. The playlist is already over 59 hours, so I'm debating about that.
I figured my recent piano/electronic playlist my be relevent to this thread. Ranges from classical to hardcore to J-pop, with all tracks including piano:
