In all this talk of Left-Handed Concertos, I've not seen mention of
the Korngold (I apologize if I missed it) or for his suite for string
quartette and piano/left hand.

The question about why there is no concerto for the *right* hand--at
least never one I've heard or heard of--well, I don't know, but I'm
guessing that because most people are right-handed, the right hand is
used more, and is therefore more likely to be injured.  I'm sure that
if/when a major pianist--God forbid!--injures his left hand, there will
be commissioned a concerto for the right hand.
