That nigga beethoven is a beast. Try to find something by him that is played by someone else. cuz beethoven be goin crazy and swicthin up tempos so its difficult to sample. but if u can find a rendition or interpolation or sumthin then its much easier

I can't leave this thread without mentioning Bill Evans. He's definitely classic material.

Otherwise, run a database search on AMG on piano players and learn about some musicians. Then, just search for some material. Also, there are quite a few solo piano albums floating around too, so keep an eye out for those as well.

You can never go wrong with some good old Herbie Handcock. Look for his albums before the 80s though...

If you want some good Piano Sample, Go out a search for some Paino Bar CD. Try to get some as far back as possible. I found some nice samples from these CD. You may need to dirty them up but that a hidden treasure.
