This thread is a place to share information about composers who write post classical piano music. It is a work in progress, so please contribute! Click on the links below to jump down to a post about a specific composer. Post Classical Piano Composers (in alphabetical order) Arnalds, Ólafur #248938 #248934 Belli, Olivia #248955 Beving, Joep #248933 Brickman, Jim #248963 Brooke, Garreth (pen name Garreth Broke) #248960 Crain, Brian #24892 #248983 Currea, Rachel #24893 Einaudi, Ludovico #24894 Fiscella, Thad #24895 Ffrench, Alexis #24896 #2460 (takes you to a different thread) Frahm, Nils #248935 #248939 Gjeilo, Ola #248940 Glass, Philip #248932 Hammer, Doug #24897 Hicken, David #24898 Hisaishi, Joe #24899 Lanz, David #248910 LaVallee, Jacob #248911 Lawson, Chad #248978 McLaughlin, Michele #248913 Moccio, Stephan #248914 #248924 Neumark, Tim #248954 Nevue, David #248915 Nyman, Michael #248916 Pamart, Sofiane (coming soon) #248956 Paterlini, Fabrizio #248953 Portman, Rachel #248970 Richter, Max #248936 Sakamoto, Ryuichi #248917 Story, Liz #248964 Tiersen, Yann #248918 Wesley, Phillip #248919 Winston, George #248920 Yiruma #248921 Suggestions that I don’t know what to do with: #248965 Please add your comments below, and add any composers who should be added to the list. (Please be sure that it is a composer of piano music, if not exclusively than significantly). Request: If possible, please limit each post to a single composer, and then it will be easy to add a link in this top post so readers can jump straight to a post about a specific composer. I will do my best to keep this top post edited with links to posts below as more composers and comments are added. A note about definitions: the term post classical is subject to a fair amount of debate (see this PT thread). The list below will include composers who might also be listed under film composition, anime or game music, or who might be called by other terms (e.g., new age, neoclassical), so let's not turn this thread into a discussion of the label, but rather keep it as a place to talk about the composers and their music. My intention is to be inclusive rather than exclusive. Disclaimer: I wrote the posts below based on years of listening to and playing music made by these composers. It's not intended to be a definitive resource, but more a place to get started for anyone who's curious about post classical piano music, or who's looking for something new to listen to or play. If some important information is missing in one of my posts, please add it and tag me and then I'll add a link above. If a composer is missing, please make a post in this thread about them, tag me, and I'll add them above.

Yikes. I actually signed up for Instagram and I'd been avoiding (er kicked off) most things Meta.

Brian Crain released a new album, he writes that this is 30 years after his first album. It can be heard here:

I haven't listened yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
