Alkan, of course, wrote a major work for right hand, his Trois Grandes
Etudes, Op.  76.  The first work (about 10 min) is for left hand:  the
second (about 22 min) is for right hand and the last Etude is for both
hands together (or reunited as Alkan titled it).

Just how many left hand concertos did Wittgenstein commission?? The
original article only mentioned a few.
