Scriabin's op.48 the first and last preludes are both very bold epics yet shorter than a minute.

Hello handz,

You can do a short search in the Piano Street forum to find other topics of the same nature. For example, just a few weeks ago, someone posted nearly the exact same question. There were quite a few good pieces that fit your criteria in this post. Here is the link: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=61064.0

FYI both Brahms and Rachmaninoff penned some very dramatic pieces. Start there.

Actuaually all 5 from this set of 5 encores would likely fit the bill

this is no 5
list
I To entice the audience -
II For romantic ladies -
III In case of success
- IV In case of triumph -

V In case of delirium
