Hello everyone. Which piano solo masterpieces/pieces in your opinion would you put in your top 10 as your favourites?

Sergio Tiempo - Variations on a Theme of Lionel Richie
Hamelin - Quadruple Etude Constructed Haphazardly by Combining 4 Scarlatti Sonatas
Volodos-Spears - Toxic
 

[mephisto]

Some pieces that comes to my mind:

Alkan; Symphony for solo piano
Bach; Goldberg Variations
Beethoven; Op. 111 (oh, two many good pieces to mention)
Debussy; Images (both of them)
Chopin; 4th ballade
Liszt; Piano Sonata
Messiaen; Selection from Vingt Regards
Scriabin; Sonata No. 7 (but it could just be about any sonata he wrote)
Prokofiev; Sonata No. 6 (but this is just a personal favourite)
Ravel; Gespard de la nuit

Well that's 10, but there are many many more such as Schubert and Schumanns C major fantasies tat decerves to be on that list.
