Post stuff with just piano in it, no other instruments allowed, and no singing, just piano, it doesn't matter if it's classical music or jazz or whatever, just only pianos. It doesn't matter where it's from, it can be anime music if you're so inclined, but don't have any non-piano poo poo in there.

It doesn't matter how many pianos you've got either, more might even be better

I'll start:

Nikolai Kapustin - Etude Op.40 No.1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJww3q32OZE

Charles-Valentin Alkan - Etude Op. 35 No. 7 "L'incendie au village voisin"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XMSxnAqLJc

Sergei Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C sharp minor Op. 3 No. 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXGSfJn3nKQ

Leopold Godowsky - Java Suite No. 8 "The Gardens of Buitenzorg"

There's also Wakeman playing How Much is That Doggie in the Window? in the style of Debussy. Youtube doesn't seem to have it, but Spotify does. It's ... interesting.

If you have an hour to burn and enjoy listening to theme and variations type pieces, give a listen to Rzewski's "The People United Will Never Be Defeated", which is 36 variations on the Chilean song "¡El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido!"

If you like strange piano music then you'll probably enjoy Charles Ives' Three Quarter-Tone pieces, especially worth a listen if you've never listened to music with quarter-tones.

Hiromi Uehara is a wonderfully talented Japanese jazz fusion pianist, mentored by jazz greats such as Ahmad Jamal and Chick Corea. Most of her music is with other equally talented musicians but her solo piano stuff is really good too.

Easy recommendation. This lady has covered pretty much most of the better known rock songs (with emphasis on heavy metal) and amazingly so. Don't even wanna sort out the favorites because I'd just keep listening.
