Salon music was usually written for solo piano in the romantic style, and often performed by the composer at events known as "Salons".

Ten thumbs

For example:
Frederic Chopin

Also for example:
Henri Ravina
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.
