70s Piano Songs in the Key of E Major

E Major's four sharps (F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯) give it a rich, powerful sound. It's the natural key of the guitar, which means many rock and pop classics were originally written here. On piano, E Major requires confident use of black keys, making it intermediate territory — but the sonic payoff is worth the effort.

The 1970s were arguably the golden age of piano in popular music — Elton John, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, and Queen all made the piano the centerpiece of their sound. These songs feel like they were born to be played on piano. Below you'll find 15 hand-picked 70s piano songs in the key of E Major, selected from over 44 songs in our library.
