Sheet Music Proper credit for piano?

[ESJohn]

I was asked to participate in our church's Christmas program by playing a solo, so I've been working on O the deep, deep love of Jesus (Williams/arr. DeCesare). At a tempo of 82, it takes 4:34.
The entire score is 64 measures and 20 of those are strictly piano. Would this be considered a duet or a solo with accompaniment? I would like to give proper credit to the pianist as his part seems to be much more complex than mine.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I don’t think you’d credit:

Soloist A
Soloist B

There is accompaniment as the piano provides both melody and accompaniment, but the expected credits would be

Soloist - A
Accompanist - B

Or

Saxophone - A
Piano - B

If there are programme notes about the piece, then you could outline the form of the piece.

It’s normal to have extended introductions anyway, think about Mozart wind concertos for one.

I would leave the decision on how to document up to your church leadership. You are the soloist. It is normal for the accompanist to do solo work, (well basically when you aren't playing he is a "soloist" until you play) unless the both of you are being backed up by a band or orchestra. Then you both could be listed as soloists.

Besides, it is the audience that takes note of how one performs, regardless of what is listed in the programme. The fact that both of you are mentioned and on what instruments should be sufficient.

Thanks for the comments! I didn't know if there was some sort of etiquette or other unwritten rule that I should follow.
