Solo Piano: some well known, some not

• Impressionist Liszt is best Liszt but Funerailles is great. It was explicitly written in response to the failed 1848 Hungarian Revolution. His B minor piano sonata is also the best piano sonata
• Favorite Debussy is hard but its probably this, L'isle Joyeuse
• Pictures at Exhibition, my favorite recording is with Pletnev but it got taken off youtube so Kissin will do
• Some Spanish flare, Granados' Goyescas
• I generally prefer early Scriabin like his Fantasie but Vers la flamme is great
• When your parents tell you banging on the piano isn't music show them this, Three Irish Legends especially the last one you have to smash the piano with both arms
• Of course, the honorable mentions--all of Chopin and Rachmaninoff solo piano works

Everything else:

• Bach Chaconne the original violin, though the piano version is nice too. Contender for the best thing ever written
• All of Mahler (except 4) but especially the Adagietto of the 5th
• Schoenberg before he went into his serialism phase Verklärte Nacht
• Rach 3 I think is my favorite of his piano concertos but 2 is a very close second
• Don't usually like transcriptions of piano pieces but this one of the Chopin Etude op.25 no.7 is pretty dope
• More modern, Peteris Vasks Vientulais Engelis
• Can't pick an Arvo Part, listen to all of it
• Richter's Mercy is my current favorite of his though the one that was in Arrival, On the Nature of Daylight is probably the best
