Another post mentioning Ludovico Einaudi...

Below is a spectrogram of L'Origine Nascosta ("the hidden source") from his album Divenire ("to become").



Time goes from left to right (the song is just over 3 minutes long) while frequency (pitch) increases from the bottom to the top of the picture. You can see individual piano notes (red patches) followed by reverberation (blue-green streaks).

It's a delicate piano piece but with an extraordinary orchestral swelling in the middle which you can clearly see in the image above.
