Try something like:

piano-solo.%.pdf: piano-solo.%.ly \
        $(general) \
        dialogs.%.ily \
        global.%.ily \
        notes.piano-solo.%.ily \
        pedals.%.ily
...

Have a look at "Syntax of Static Pattern Rules" in make documentation
$ info make

Also, you could use a dependancy finder like:
