Best Piano Concerto = Beethoven´s Num 4

Favorite Piano Concerto = Brahms Num 1

this is one of the worst lists ive ever seen. you shoulda never had a poll and let people choose for themselves whatever piano concerto they wanted.

Lolol, teh sucky poll. A poll about the best concerto without Brahms and Beethoven in the list can not be taken seriously.

And, besides the famous ones there are also lots of obscure but beautiful concerti, like Paderewski, Dvorak, Bortkiewicz, Scriabin etc.

Of course Rachmaninoff is fantastic, but if I get to know that I have only another 45 minutes to live, then I'd listen one last time to Beethoven 4!!!!!!

I would say that it depends on your mood...  because there are so many incredible concertos.

Really, I'd also vote for Beethoven 4, but I've always been at a loss to choose between his 3rd, 4th and 5th. In current list, I picked num 5, but I love all three of them.
Num 4, though, is the most cheerful of them all, and really, really, really, it's impossible not wave your arms madly when approaching its finalle. Or that's just me, but I love Beethoven anyway. He never let me down.

You are missing the Ravel and Liszt concerti, all of which are great.

Out of the list my favourites are the Rach 3 and Chopin 2

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists
“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive.
