solo voice and piano
The piano and the violin were the most popular solo instruments used in the concerto of classical period. The violin was one of the most popular for the baroque period, and the increase in popularity of the piano caused that this instrument replaced the former.

The piece of music I assume you are enquiring about is in Pretty Woman (late at night in the hotel). This was written and performed by Richard Gere himself. In the movie credits (and all over the internet for that matter) it is only referred to as Richard Gere's piano solo.
the name given to a musical piece performed by one person is called a Solo -If you have maybe a violin piece and its to be performed by one person then you could call it "Violin solo" or "solo Violin" actually you could call it anything and just add to the score that "this should be played by one player only or played solo"
