Notes

  1. This includes neither a hybrid such as Clare Fischer Plays By and With Himself (with several tracks featuring Fischer accompanying himself via multi-tracking) nor numerous small ensemble albums, each of which incorporate one or more solo piano tracks. Moreover, Fischer released five additional unaccompanied LPs, all during the 1970s, three featuring organ, and two, an assortment of keyboard instruments.
