piano music
 
Does anybody know of any good piano music? I want music where there is just a piano. Any suggestions?

You could try John Cage.

Beautiful instrumentals...

Any work by Eric Satie

'Gnossienne' and 'Gymnopedes' are his best known pieces - beautiful chill out music of the gentlest kind.

Go for a recording that retains the simplicity of the music and doesn't try to make it more dynamic than it should be.

Liz Story

A Windham Hill Artist that I started listening to a few years ago. Most of her early work is piano only.

Very chilling performances! :)

Exactly. These pieces lose their meaning when they're played fast by some piano players.
I have a compilation cd with all of the 'Gymnopédies' and 'Gnossiennes' played very slowly, it's wonderful, one could even say it was ambient music before it was even invented :)
Very sad tunes though.

Anything by Chopin, he's my favorite classical musician, his piano norturnes are even better then all his other stuff in my opinion :up:

Also, a sond I absolutely have to recommend when piano is mentioned - alhtough a woman in singing (beautifully): Theatre of tragedy - A distance there is. Beautiful song, makes me dream...
