A selection of solo piano pieces that fit my bias … Dreamy, melancholy, peaceful or joyously uplifting.

Rachmaninoff prelude in D major op. 23 no. 4
Liszt – Un Sospiro (Italian for “a sigh” – although there is some doubt Liszt ever sanctioned or used this title!) It’s the third of Liszt’s trois etudes de concert.
