A piano concerto is a concerto for solo piano and orchestra.

Concertos for the harpsichord were written throughout the Baroque era, notably by Johann Sebastian Bach (see list of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach for a list). These are often today performed with a piano as the solo instrument. Concertos specifically written for the piano were first composed in the Classical music era.

The form surivived into the twentieth century, with examples being written by Sergei Rachmaninoff, Sergei ProkofievSergei Sergeevich Prokofiev ( April 23, 1891 March 5, 1953) was a Ukrainian composer.
