The most useful concerti to have in your repertoire

[I Love Xenakis]

I was wondering if everyone could list the top 10 common repertoire concerti you believe are the most useful to have in your repertoire?  Please omit Chopin Concerto No. 1, Ravel Concerto for Left Hand, Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue, Mozart Concerto No. 20 and Prokofiev Concerto No. 2 from your lists.

rach 2 3

thcaik 1

liszt 1?

saint saens 2?

If you're like me, this topic is really "The concerti you shouldn't play because everyone else does" in disguise.

If you're like me, it's more like my teacher is a bastard.  I really need to drop him now that I've moved...

[phil13]

Mozart 27

Bach D minor

Grieg

Rach 2

Rach 3

Beethoven No.4 in G

Beethoven No.5 "Emperor"

Tchaikovsky 1

Scriabin (not really 'common' but deserves to be)

Shostakovich 2

and if it counts, Rach's Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini. Out of curiosity, why do you want to omit those particular concerti? Have you already learned them?

A concert pianist finalist of the Van Cliburn once told me that he has played the third concerto of Rachmaninov 5 times in competitions.....he lost on all of them against the prokofiev FIRST concerto, challenging piece but not very hard, even fun to play but extremely effective at international piano competitions.

If you didn't mean piano competitions then  I think the word ¨useful¨ applies in different ways.....useful in learning it fast, useful in developing a more colorful playing, easy  to memorize, easier for you to play because it focuses on your strongest areas of your technique, etc, etc,
