Hi,
A couple of recent listens ... Mostly Autumn ... had some beautiful pieces with piano and keyboards as well.
In general, in "progressive" music, the conventional instruments are not always the used to the best effects, but things like ANGE, BANCO used two keyboard players and mix piano with keyboards.
In general, I do not look for "an instrument", or "a style" ... when listening to music. It tends to limit your taste and desire.

E-Piano, E-Harpsichord and Synth does not equate to PIANO ONLY.......(just to split hairs)
True, but the OP said "songs by Prog bands that only feature piano/keyboard" so I thought I had enough leeway. Granted, allowing synth-only songs qualifies a large chunk of progressive electronic music and many Wakeman solo albums, which sound out of the scope of the thread topic.

Anthony Phillips - Collections Piano and Mellotron, with a little bit of flute played by John Hackett. The demo version on the bonus CD has only piano and vocals.
Arena - Crying for Help VIII No piano, but it's a very atmospheric track using only synth and wordless operatic vocals
Uriah Heep - Rain Just David Byron and Ken Hensley. It also has another instrument that I think is a harmonium.
Yes - Cans and Brahms Wakeman plays Electric piano, electric harpsichord, and a synth.
Yes - Angkor wat Another atmospheric synth track featuring only Anderson and Wakeman, and Cambodian woman reciting the poem at the end. Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but it's one of the few tracks I find memorable from the Union album.

I'm thinking the piano-only version of Ludvig And Sverker (by Beardfish) - absolutely heart-wrenching track. .........also I.Q. - You Just Love Me Coz I'm A Hard Lovin' Man All Night Long.......... Yeah - re-edit edit........... Hammill - esp. As Close As This.........and so many others.....

Queen - Nevermore. With the exception of the John Deacon bass lines, Freddie Mercury's piano work is the only instrumentation of the piece. Quite an amazing interlude, I must say

I wholly recommend Bugge Wesseltoft's Christmas album "It's Snowing on My Piano". Not prog, and not really jazz or fusion either, but the artist and album is listed on PA. Features Wesseltoft, alone with his piano, interpreting traditional Christmas songs, plus a couple of new compositions. A statement against the stressful, commercialized Christmas of modern times, perfect for peaceful, slow and quiet holidays.
