Here's Inspirations for Solo Piano, an album I started back in January after composing No.1.
This set is inspired by mostly classical music, with a few video game inspired works sprinkled in a few places.

Info:
No.1: Inspired by Scarlatti's Keyboard Sonata in D Minor K.141.
No.2: Inspired by Villa-Lobos' Etude No.1.
No.3: Inspired by Chopin's Etude Op.25 No.12 and a particular video game OST.
No.4: Not inspired by much here, but I guess I was going for a triumphant feeling, contrasted with serenity in the slower sections.
No.5: This one is best described as a quasi-Chopinesque piece, particularly the more slower and less intense passages of various Chopin pieces.
No.6: This one has more of a semi-baroque style, jumbled together with a Moszkowski-esque style.
No.7: This one is old, written as a draft around 2019, later added upon. What separates this one from the rest would be the more "off-key" notes, creating a more meandering feel.
No.8: This one has a slight Alkan-esque feel within the first section, the rest of it was more or less inspired by other composers, and the last section is representative of a entire orchestra, albeit a bit condensed.
No.9: This one is not really inspired by any particular piece from the classical repertoire, but more so a video game theme.
No.10: The two fast sections are partially inspired by Chopin's Ecossaise No.1 in D Major, with the middle section being reminiscent of more slower passages in various pieces I've heard.
