He's called a piano player. A slightly highbrow term would be pianist, and it is a gender neutral term.

Originally, the piano was named the "piano forte," which means "soft loud." It was called this because it was the first instrument of the time that could play both softly and loudly. Later, the name was shortened to "piano."

Because the full name for a piano is 'piano forte', Italian for 'quiet loud'. 'Piano forte' was then shortened to 'piano'.
