Both Copland and Menotti seldom wrote in the concerto format and the first concerto they each wrote were for piano. (Copland's second concerto was for Benny Goodman in 1948.) Copland's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra is an early composition (1927) and in it you can hear the young composer's interest in jazz as well as a heavy influence of the bluesy side of Gershwin. This isn't the Copland everyone knows, but still worth your time. Gian Carlo Menotti's Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra (1945) shows, in the piano, the influence of Scarlatti, bubbly as it is. Minor works, both, but fun.
