Piano Solos

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 Schönberg 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?

I am a big fan of

  • Mozart and my favorite music of his is Turkish March
  • Beethoven and the favorite piano solo is fur Elise

Hi,

oh there's so much to discover....

 

I think the pianoworks by Simeon ten Holt are wonderful, especially 'Canto Ostinato'

spotify:user:musicajet:playlist:5Pd5neAdhUb9lvI3oiPsp1

 

I really like the piano etudes of Philip Glass, played by Maki Namekawa

spotify:album:7fAV0q7la4SLQ3Z9jXbA0n

 

Most of the time I listen to classical composers. I've made a quiet playlist (Janacek, Scarlatti, Alkan, Poulenc, Shostakovich) and a more vivid swinging list (with for example Granados, de Falla, Lecuona, Milhaud)

quiet: spotify:user:musicajet:playlist:2wLccyns8tHgJOqQRkLswu

more vivid: spotify:user:musicajet:playlist:6n91uO0Gu4FhglK9DVF8l3

 

Enjoy!

 

Frank Ocean's Blonde (2016) is a masterful album in contemporary R&B. After it debuted, a solo piano version of every song was released, under the album Piano Tribute to Frank Ocean by an unknown artist (although some believe it to be Ocean himself). I do not casually listen to piano melodies, but I will always make an exception for this cover album.

Wow I just finish reading all you answers and @klaudiapianist love your songs I already tweeted the newest single and also a shoutout in Instagram congratulations, I want to know when you are going to release this album?

 

I’ll be waiting.

Great topic @DonSolare, I’m a music lover and love the classics and obviously the released recently, I don’t have a Piano Playlist exclusively but let me recommend some artist (I didn’t see you commented about them but didn’t check out your Playlist)

hi @Jpgchief I'll follow you on spotify! Soon my new album will be released "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN (PIANO COVER)". I'm looking for playlists to insert my songs, but I still have not received any answers. Greetings, Klaudia

Hi, 

My playlist dark sad piano is now slowly gaining some followers. Not much 39 but every week a few people join. I don't mind adding a song from a pianist over here. If it's a sad or really dark song that is. That's the theme. 

Greetings Roberto

Hi @robertovNL ! if you want, you can use my Album "LULLABY" .... I believe it is suitable for you playlist, I follow your playlist and i like it ! 

greetings ❤️ KLAUDIA

Hello Roberto!

I'm a huge fan of classical piano music, modern and classic/romantic period.

I started learning the piano at 6yrs of age and have been playing for 16 years non-stop!

My personal favourites of the classical and romantic eras are Chopin and Mozart. 

I'm a big fan of Valentin Silvestrov and his Bagatelle no. 1

I'm a very huge fan of Ludovico Einaudi and Giovanni Allevi and have learnt may pieces of theirs over the years.

In recent years, I have started composing myself. Here's a sample.

https://open.spotify.com/album/0kMBNDXGoLTFoviyObmjBU?si=Yev8VqoHQ4etw7b5k3HjHw

Let me know what you think!

 

Please consider adding my album to your playlist! I followed!

Thanks.

Now that you've been given all the great well-known pieces, try Jean-Philippe Collard Neven. He does contemorary classical. His latest album is with an oud player, Nasser Houari. It's very moody and worth a listen.
