Billy Joel composed a collection of classical piano music. The CD is named “Fantasies & Delusions”. I have heard a few pieces - quite good.

It's still around but I think we live in an age that just doesn't value it. And it's principle practitioners now produce dramatic movie scores rather than concert pieces. Living in Malibu and working for George Lucas beats being assistant professor of music at Podunk State. Way beats!
