1. He got emotional because you are talking about a time and an event in the past that is now finished (so use simple past). You could also use 'He became emotional'.
2. 'He's getting emotional' because it is happening right now. You would only use 'He gets emotional' in this situation if it happens every time he plays the piano.

"got" is the past of "get" so when the action is simultaneous or very close (playes => cries) no past is needed
