Piano Sheet Music recommendations please

Lots of rusty piano players off on holiday and the house has a piano! The home piano is long gone but a couple of us were grade 5 (40/10 years ago!) and everyone enjoyed a plonk. Can anyone recommend a book of sheet music with some interesting but simple pieces- more Satie Steve Reich Max Richter than Rachmaninov. I found this book but it's a little ££ for possible 1/2 relevant pieces

I love playing Je the veux by Satie and it's free in the net somewhere. I'll have a look.

Eric Satie and Yann Tiersen are lovely and relatively easy to play.

Islands by Ludovico Einaudi has some lovely music in, some that you will recognise as it's used a lot in TV. I'm a big Einaudi fan though and have a few of his books. Islands is a compilation, and has some simple and some more complicated pieces, nothing too overwhelming though.

Also recommend Yiruma.

Thats amazing @AnotherEmma, @xsquared and @Comfyonion
Thank you so much. I've downloaded the Satie and off to investigate Einaudi...

At risk of pointing out the obvious, it really helps to listen to the music first to decide what you like and what you're aiming for when you play it.
