There were five who stand out as almost strictly pianistic composers, and they were Scott Joplin, Fryderyk Chopin, Henry Cowell, R. Nethanial Dett, and Enrique Granados.
There were many other pianists who turned out as composers and scored their piano music as a primarily featured instrument (and then tagged in a few other 'whistle-blowers' to add unnecessary debauchery), such as the two Sergeis (S. Prokofiev and S. Rachmaninoff), Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Claude Debussy, Edward Macdowell, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Norman Dello-Joio, Christoph P.E. Bach (one of the Johann offspring), Robert Schumann, Antonio Scarlatti, and Bela Bartok to name a few.
There are, however, many composers who were skilled at writing for several different instrumental mediums, but also included impressively written masterworks for piano as either a subsidiary instrument (accompaniment) or as a soloist in their portfolios. Composers in this category include Paul Hindemith, Pytr I. Tchaikovsky, Olivier Messiaen, Franz Schubert, Maurice Ravel, Felix Mendelssohn, Samuel Barber, Antonin Dvorak, Franz Joseph Haydn, Gabriel Faure, George Fredric Handel, Dmitri Shostakovich, Darius Milhaud, Wolfgang Amadeus (Wolfie) Mozart, Anton Rubenstein, Igor Stravinsky, Johann Sebastian Bach, Aaron Copeland, Camille Saint-Saens, Alexander Scriabin, the three "A" 12-toners ("A"nton Webern, "A"rnold Schoernberg, and "A"lban Berg), Ludwig van Beethoven, Charles Ives, Manuel de Falla, Leonard Bernstein, Alexander Glazunov, and George Gershwin.
Aside from these piano promoters, there emerged a set of composers who appeared to despise the instrument and appeared to 'cringe' at the thought of wasting time writing for nothing more than an accompaniment figure. These include Giaccomo Puccini, any of the Strauss boys (Johann Jr. and Sr., and Richard), Gioachino Rossini, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Giuseppi Verdi, Benjamin Britten, Jean Sibelius, Gustav Mahler, Leon Minkus, George Bizet, Gustav Holst, Richard Rogers, Hector Berlioz, Leo Delibes, Anton Bruckner, and Richard Wagner.
All of these composers composed massive amounts of music that include piano in them as either character, subsidiary, solo, featured, or accompanying figures. Nearly all of them have dabbled in vocal and/or symphonic writing, and all have produced outstanding and pioneering works for the instrument under discussion.
I hope this helps.

Who wrote music for the piano?
A LOT of people. Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, McDowell, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Schumann, Faber & Faber, etc...even my teacher, and me myself. As long as someone made a composition of some sort, that person is a composer, and if he/she composes a piece of music for the piano, that person is a composer for the piano.
