Generally music written for the piano will place the notes intended for the left hand in the bass clef, although there is no reason a musical piece could not be written to be played entirely in the Treble clef.

When playing the piano, the left hand is usually written in bass clef. (There are times when the left hand is written in treble clef depending on what notes need to be played, but it is normally standard for the left hand to be in bass clef and the right hand to be in treble clef.)
