Arnold Schoenberg's Piano Concerto, Op. 42 (1942) consists of one movement with four sections: Andante, Molto allegro, Adagio, and Giocoso. It features use of the twelve-tone technique and only one tone row, though he does at points take some liberties with the permutation of the row.

The Symphonic Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in b minor by Wilhelm Furtwängler was written between 1924 and 1937 and is among the longest of all piano concertos. It received its world premiere in Munich on October 1937, with Edwin Fischer as the piano soloist; Furtwängler conducted the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. In January 1939 there was a radio broadcast which has survived as the only documentation of the unpublished version of the concerto.
The Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in G minor, Op. 33 was the first of three concertos that AntonÃn Dvořák composed -- he wrote a piano concerto, a violin concerto and, lastly, a cello concerto -- and without a doubt it is his least known and least performed concerto. The verdict, whether just or not, has generally been that the piano concerto was more successful as a symphonic piece than one for the piano.

The Piano Concerto by Busoni, Opus 39, is one of the largest works written in this particular genre. The work is in five movements, the last of which also utilizes a male chorus, to a text by Oehlenschlaeger--a highly unusual feature for the piano concerto. The work was first performed in Berlin on the 10th of November 1904, to decidedly mixed reviews.
