How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear?

​
A pianist friend just recommended this article and pianist to me, knowing that I'm presently doing a speaker shoot-out. My question to you all is this:

How important is solo piano recordings to your evaluation of audio equipment -- in relation to, say, orchestra, bass, voice, etc.? What, specifically, does piano reveal exceptionally well, to your ears?

Here's the article:

The sound of a piano seems to be one of the easiest instruments to recall.

In playback it also seems to be one of the easiest ones to detect any sonic issues.

As said earlier, it’s an issue of power, weight, and scale.

Perhaps tone and reverb too as no two ever seem to sound the same, and you don’t need to be Glenn Gould to feel that way.
