JJ2005, I agree that the piano themes in Road to Perdition are fantastic. I also like the piano in Lemony Snicket, Haunted, Tom & Viv, Jane Eyre by John Williams, and My Life by John Barry. I'm sure there's lots more but those piano melodies come to mind first. |

Just as a quick contribution off the top of my head. I love the SecondHand Lions piano theme by Doyle, wonderful stuff. I am sure there is much more that I like, but that is one that popped into my head that does not look like it has been brought up yet. |

Did anyone said : the sadame piano version from X Clamp ?
In my opinion, many hisaishi themes, but i looooove "Clair de lune" of Debussy (used in Ocean Eleven)
Also the Hungarian Rhapsody from the "Shine (complete classics)" album
This is all i think about for the moment but all the tracks you had mentionned are great !

Thomas Newman knows how to use the piano.
I also really liked John Williams' piano in his iTunes Memoirs of a Geisha session with Yo-Yo Ma. |

Nowadays I definitely must add to my list:

Impressive!
I definitely have to check Ryo Kunihiko works... Thank you for the samples Tree!
Thank you Molossus as well! I definitely have to check 'Kto Nigdy Nie Zyl'. However, it might be difficult to find in my country

Nobuo Uematsu will be always my favourite author of piano melodies. I even started to learn to play piano, because of his music:
Aerith´s theme
Tifa´s theme
Cosmo Canyon
To Zanarkand
