List of piano concertos by key

This list of piano concertos by key is a list of famous piano concertos sorted by key. For the least often used keys in orchestral music, the piano concerto listed might be famous only for being in that key. Technically, the piano can play in any key, and the unaccompanied solo piano repertoire abounds in keys that would almost never be used in orchestral music. Even so, some preferences manifest themselves. For example, when Beethoven re-arranged his Violin Concerto in D major as a Piano Concerto, he transposed it to C major.
