| Top 10 Composers for solo piano
Things get a bit nebulous after the top 3 or 4, but I generally think this is an appropriate ranking | | 1 |  | Ludwig van Beethoven
"Hammerklavier" Piano Sonata No. 29 in B♭ major, Op. 106
sonatas, variations; his is the summit of the piano literature. | | 2 |  | Johann Sebastian Bach
Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565
toccatas, preludes/fugues, partitas. etc. yes I know he wrote for harpsichord. | | 3 |  | Frederic Chopin
Preludes, Op. 28
p much everything, preludes, etudes, mazurkas, ballades, (the waltzes are a tad overrated though) | | 4 |  | Franz Schubert
Piano Sonata in B♭ major, D. 960
late sonatas, musical moments, impromptus. The guy could sustain a narrative without the hysterics and showmanship of the Romantic age, which is why he places above Liszt. | | 5 |  | Franz Liszt
Piano Sonata in B minor, S. 178
etudes, b minor sonata (ive come to much more appreciate Liszt in the past few years, though I still think that some of his orchestral work is filled with 2nd tier themes) | | 6 |  | Johannes Brahms
4 Klavierstucke op. 119
late piano character pieces, variations (esp. Handel variations) sonatas are underrated too | | 7 |  | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Piano Sonata No. 8 in A minor, K. 310/300d
his sonatas as a body of work are underrated even to this day, and fantasies are exceptional. | | 8 |  | Alexander Scriabin
Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 6
(the Russian Chopin) - most important set of sonatas after Schubert. | | 9 |  | Joseph Haydn
Piano Sonata in E-flat, No.62, Hob.XVI/52
arguably holds the title for most underrated composer of all time, at least in the popular imagination. Classical fans know what’s good though. The Sonatas are an extraordinary body of work for its time. | | 10 |  | Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
Keyboard Sonata in C Minor, Wq. 50/6, H. 140
Bach's greatest son | | 11 |  | Hellnation
Cheerleaders for Imperialism
Honorable Mentions: Schumann, Godowski
Unhonorable Mentions: Rachmaninoff, Debussy, anyone from the 2nd Vienesse School. | |
