Famous piano masterpieces from Western music. Recommended popular pieces (1–10)
Concavo Y convexoDiego El Cigara
Diego El Cigala, without a doubt the top active cantaor, boasts unparalleled talent.
Although “Concavo y convexo” isn’t one of his signature songs, it’s a track that’s deeply loved by fans.
It goes without saying that Diego El Cigala’s vocal ability is phenomenal, but the pianist is incredibly skilled as well.
He’s the pianist Diego El Cigala always calls on, and the way he conveys such emotion on the piano—an instrument that can be hard to make expressive—is nothing short of remarkable.
Cracks Of My Broken HeartEric Benét
Eric Benét, who has been active on the US R&B scene with his crystal-clear falsetto as his weapon, made his solo debut in 1996.
Before that, he performed as part of the vocal group Benét with his sister Lisa and his cousin George Nash Jr.
“Cracks Of My Broken Heart” is a piano-driven track that highlights his sweet voice.
By the way, Benét has many other great songs as well, so be sure to check them out.
Peace Wanted Just To Be FreeStevie Wonder
You know this artist, right? The world-renowned Stevie Wonder.
This song, “Peace Wanted Just To Be Free,” is a duet with the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti.
Pavarotti wouldn’t give the time of day to even the most famous singers unless they had real talent.
In fact, when he sang with Celine Dion, he wouldn’t even meet her eyes (lol).
But he looks genuinely impressed with Stevie Wonder.
It’s an emotional piece that brings out the best in both of them.
I Know What Love IsCéline Dion
Celine Dion, well-known for the theme song of the film Titanic.
Compared to many of her other songs, I Know What Love Is is a relatively minor track, but it’s beloved by her fans.
Its straightforward, emotional melody makes it a good recommendation even for those who aren’t usually into Western pop.
The song is fundamentally arranged with a grand, sweeping melody, so rather than something to relax to, it’s the kind of track you really listen to intently.
Back At OneBrian McKnight
Brian McKnight, who was active on the R&B scene in the ’90s, is an artist with exceptionally skilled ad-libs—good enough to hold his own against Boyz II Men’s Wanyá Morris.
Beyond his outstanding vocals, he’s also an incredible pianist, with technique that would put many conservatory students to shame.
Back at One is one of his signature songs.
He often performs various songs in a piano-and-vocal style, so if you’re interested, definitely check them out!
