piano works

Pieces for keys

Piano works are musical compositions written for piano, typically by classical composers.

The term usually appears in discussions of a composer's output: Chopin's piano works, the complete piano works of Debussy.

It encompasses sonatas, études, nocturnes, and other forms intended for solo piano or piano as the primary instrument.
