Emerson's Piano Concerto of course!
Yes, and "Fugue" (the middle bit of Endless Enigma) is a great piano piece as well but best of all for me is the piano solo section of "Take a Pebble" from WBMFTTSTNE.

Now we are at it, the 2nd movement of Karn Evil 9...
Another one to throw in the pot was recognised by Steve 'Interesting' Davis recently - 'In the Sickbay' off Desperate Straights, I think the electric piano is played by Dagmar herself. The lugubrious title track (piano by Anthony Moore) also worth a mention.

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.

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'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.....

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.
