Paul Wittgenstein at the piano

This is a list of concertos and concertante works for piano left-hand and orchestra.

The very first such composition was published as late as 1895, by the Hungarian Count Géza Zichy.[1] The best known left-hand concerto is the Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D by Maurice Ravel, which was written for Paul Wittgenstein between 1929 and 1930. Wittgenstein commissioned a number of such works around that time, as did Otakar Hollmann. More recently, Gary Graffman has commissioned a number of left-hand concertos.
