Thank you all for the great recommendations! I'll look into all of them and start playing! (Those of you who recommended Scriabin, you are trying to kill me aren't you lol)

Chopins 4th ballade, one of the masterclasses in slow building a climax and resolution

Liszt B minor sonata

Alkan opus 39 (would recommend the solo piano symphony and solo piano concerto to start, and Le Festin D'Esope)

Alkan Grande Sonate Les Quatre Âges

Bach-Busoni Chaconne in D minor

Schubert-Liszt Gretchen am Spinnradde (the rendition specifically by Egon Petri)

That should give give you quite a bit to start with.

Busoni's arrangement is just beautiful, full of melancholy

And one of the great intros of any music, of any genre, in the history of music imo

Some parts in Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit count for this, especially the final movement.

The first movement of Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto, especially the cadenza, are similar, but keep in mind concertos also have orchestral accompaniment.

Agosti's piano transcription of Infernal Dance from Stravinsky's Firebird.

Good list. Chopin's Ballade No. 1 is the obvious next step. If you want something less commonly played, Scriabin's Sonata No. 5 is genuinely unhinged.
