Debussy - Images
Satie - Gnossienes/Gymnopedies
Bach/Busoni - Toccata and Fugue in D minor
Rachmaninoff - Etudes and Preludes
Ravel - Left hand Concerto, Toccata, Gaspard

Those are the ones that really stand out for me. I have like 200 pieces at least I could list but those are probably my favorites.
