I will give you a brief introduction, and I won’t post a lot of information to you here.

The main piano player in the Baroque period was Bach. His greatest achievement was the "Well-Tempered Clavier", also known as "48 Preludes and Fugues", which was hailed by von Bülow as the Old Testament of music. . Another Baroque giant, Handel, was mainly devoted to symphonic works and operas, especially oratorios in his later years. His achievements on the piano were far less than Bach's.

The pioneering figure in the classical period should be said to be Haydn. He created a huge amount of works, among which the piano works mainly include 62 sonatas and 3 concertos. After Haydn there is Mozart, who needs no further introduction, with 27 piano concertos and 18 sonatas (the Turkish March we are familiar with is actually the third movement of Sonata N0.11, K331). Clementi is also a representative figure of the classical period. It is worth mentioning that he is one of the few musicians who has experienced the three eras of late Baroque, classical and early romantic. It is said that he is also one of the first to create piano music. The use of long legato lines makes the piano more coherent and singing, and is highly praised by Beethoven. Later, Beethoven was not satisfied with the creation of piano symphony works, so he only left 5 piano concertos, of which the fifth "Emperor" is the most famous. There are also 32 piano sonatas, including the 8th "Pathétique", the 14th "Moonlight", No. 23 "Passion", etc. are all familiar to us. Other classical schools such as Mendelssohn also left many immortal piano works.

A large number of pianists and composers emerged during the Romantic period. For example, the piano poet Chopin devoted his life to the piano and had few works other than piano, not even symphonies. His complete collection of nocturnes, complete collections of Polonaises, complete collections of etudes, and complete collections of ballades are all our favorites. Another master who complemented each other at the same time, Liszt, also wrote a large number of works for the piano. "Dream of Love" has almost become a popular classic. There are also 19 Hungarian Rhapsody and other representative works, and adapted works such as "Memories of Don Juan", "The Bell" and so on are also household names. Both of them have devoted almost their entire lives to the piano. In addition, many composers have left behind many genius works, such as Schumann's "Childhood Scenes" (the third Hide and Seek, the seventh Fantasy) and "Kreisler's Incident", and Brahms' two piano concertos. Speaking of Romanticism, we have to mention the representatives of Russian national music. Tchaikovsky can be regarded as a Romantic and Russian national music school. His First Piano Association is a frequent visitor to concerts, and Rachmaninov’s Four The second and third pieces of Shougang Association are the most famous. Among them, the third piece of Shougang Association is called the most difficult piano work, which is more difficult than pulling ten tons of coal.

Haha, I am too tired from typing, I can only write so much. Specifically, you should read the history of music and refer to the "Music Bible" and "Penguin Laser Disc Guide" to choose the appropriate record version to listen to.
