A pianist ( /ˈpiːənɨst/ PEE-ə-nist) is a musician who plays the piano. A professional pianist can perform solo pieces, play with an ensemble or orchestra, or accompany one or more singers, solo instrumentalists, or other performers.
Most forms of Western music can make use of the piano. Consequently, pianists have a wide variety of repertoire and styles to choose from, including jazz, classical music, and all sorts of popular music.
A performing classical pianist usually starts playing piano at a very young age.
A single listing of pianists in all genres would be impractical, given the multitude of musicians noted for their performances on the instrument. Below are links to lists of well-known or influential pianists divided by genres:
Many well-known classical composers were also virtuoso pianists. The following is an incomplete list of such musicians.
Ludovico Einaudi OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [ludoˈviːko eiˈnaudi]) (born 23 November 1955 in Turin, Piedmont) is an Italian pianist and composer.
Einaudi was born in Turin, Italy. His mother played to him on the piano as a child. He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, gaining a diploma in composition in 1982. That same year, he studied with Luciano Berio and gained a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival.
After studying at the Conservatory in Milan, and subsequently with Berio, he spent several years composing in traditional forms. In the mid-1980s he began to search for a more personal expression in a series of works for dance and multimedia, and later for piano. His music is ambient, meditative and often introspective, drawing on minimalism, world music, and contemporary pop. He has made a significant impact in the film world, with four international awards to his name.[citation needed]
His father, Giulio Einaudi, was a publisher, and his grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was President of Italy between 1948 and 1955. He currently resides on a vineyard in the Italian region of Piedmont.

You can make yourself available to anybody,
cause every living person knows you are a prize,
Whichever way you go I'll be easy to find,
I dont ask for much just be honest with me 2x
Think of this song as a promise,
you can do what you want
If you decide you wanna move into a new stage,
deleting me from pages in your mission statement,
My love is unconditional make no mistake,
i don't ask for much just be honest with me 2x
Who we are what love is what it wants to be,
We are free and we are having the best day ever by far,
Being treated to the light like a superstar
I can hold space while you see what your heart has to say about me
I acknowledge you for what you do to keep strong,
Theres no dotted line to sign away freedom
I'll always stand beside you, don't get me wrong
I don't ask for much just be honest with me
Who we are when love is what it wants to be
We are free and we are having the best day ever by far,
Being treated to the light like a superstar
If I misscommunicated I apologies,
If the picture that I painted wasn't very nice,
My love is standing by you whatever you decide
I don't ask for much just be honest with me 2x
Who we are when love is what it wants to be,
We are free and we are having the best day ever by far
