Compose in MIDI and use fluidsynth - it's literally designed for this
sort of thing (embedding in a game) as someone's already pointed out.

You can get some pretty respectable sounding piano soundfonts from
hammersound.net, many of them barely a few megs.  (Soundfonts are still
around from the AWE-with-little-RAM days, so they're optimized to be as
small as possible.  I have a ~240k piano here somewhere that you could
get away with in a mix)
