Not favorite artist, or favorite style, or favorite album, just one specific song or musical piece, maybe even just one riff.
I'm going to go with "Alpha" by Vangelis, off Albedo 0.39, simply because it was the first electronica I'd ever heard that I liked (this is back in 1978), and it opened my eyes.

There was a period in my life in which I listened almost exclusively to classical piano. I can't name just one piece. Here's as brief a list as I can manage:
Beethoven: "Pathetique" sonata, first movement
Chopin: Ballade #4
Schumann: Kreisleriana, last section
Liszt: Benediction De Dieu Dans La Solitude
Debussey: La Cathedral Engloutie
Bartok: Allegro Barbaro
Prokofiev: Toccata
Scriabin: Flammes Sombres
Szymanowski: Scheherazade
Beethoven: "Pathetique" sonata, first movement
Chopin: Ballade #4
Schumann: Kreisleriana, last section

Debussey: La Cathedral Engloutie
Bartok: Allegro Barbaro
Prokofiev: Toccata
Scriabin: Flammes Sombres
Szymanowski: Scheherazade

Favorite, favorite, there is so many great piano pieces... i can't make a definitive choice...
Today, i'd say Schumann
more precisely:
Symphonic Etudes Op. 13
Kreisleriana Op. 16

The clav riff from 'Superstitious'
Reportedly several clavs played simultaneously... It was the first thing I tried to play on z3ta 1.4s top new 'amp driven clavinet' patch. I ripped it off for a new tune I'm doing.. Hopefully will up it to the general public in the near future.
Other than that, the 'Watermelon Man' riff is pretty top, or 'Nautilus' by Bob James. Classically speaking, I'm partial to a bit of the Moonlight Sonata.

Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.

Heard it while grocery shopping tonight, had to add it: Del Shannon's Runaway. Brilliant, had to be one of the first for that kind of thing.

I think it's the 32nd of Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variations. Beautiful. About 0:30...short and sweet. The ending makes me happy. I also went through a classical music phase where nothing else seemed to compare, and it was mostly Bach.

I love Bagatelles for Piano by Bartok. The piano version of Hungarian folksongs is also awesome.
...anything by Scriaban.
Yes - agree about Ives Concord Sonata too (Ives is god)!!.
