the cadenza in Beethoven's 3rd concerto in c minor was written out because he did not trust the piano soloists.
In the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Juliek plays Beethoven's Concerto in D minor for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 61. This concerto is one of Beethoven's most famous works for violin and is known for its virtuosic violin passages and emotional depth. Juliek's performance of this concerto in the midst of the horrors of the Holocaust serves as a powerful symbol of hope and humanity in the face of adversity.
The "Big Three"Rachmaninov Piano Concerto #2Beethoven Piano Concerto #5Grieg Piano ConcertoHonorable MentionTchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1Beethoven Piano Concerto #4Chopin Piano Concerto #1The major beauties of the concertos for the piano, in my opinion, are the two Chopin concertos. Beethoven's concerto number 5 "emperor" is also very nice.Grieg's piano concerto in a minor is possibly the most famous piano concerto.All of Rachmaninoff's piano concertos are famous, especially number 2, third movement.Gershwin's piano concerto, although not very known, is one of the most "fun" piano concertos to play, since it has sort of a jazzy sound. Mendelssohn piano concerto in g minor is very very very very famous. My point is that possibly the most famous piano concertos are Grieg, Rachmaninoff, and maybe Mendelssohn.Another opinionI agree with the other answers, but I would argue that Beethoven's Emperor (Piano Concerto #5) is probably the most famous. Chopin's First Piano Concerto (Piano Concerto #1) is also very gorgeous. His second isn't as good as the first, but is also very nice. Mozart's Piano Concertos are also rather well liked. However, of all composers I think that Beethoven's have received the most praise. I've always thought that Chopin's deserved more than it got, but most favorites seem to be more romantic in style than Mozart's. That doesn't mean they were bad, but the piano's full performance potential wasn't met until later in its development. It was the center piece instrument of the romantic period and most of its more popular pieces came from this time. Other examples of favorite piano concertos of this time are Tchaikovsky's as well as Mendelssohn's. (see: Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Schuman, etc)******Another opinionMendelssohn the composer is very famous, however his G minor Piano Concerto is not at all famous. I am a professional pianist and I have never heard it. Ever!! Unless you mean Saint-Saens? His G minor Concerto was once very well known, though you don't hear it as much these days. (Similarly now gone out of fashion are Rubinstein's D minor and the Scherzo from Litolff's 4th Concerto, but at different times they were also popular.)Beethoven's Piano Concerto no.2 in B flat Minor does not exist, sorry.Also Brahms 1st Concerto is in D minor not C major.There is no Schubert Piano Concerto.Back in the real world, surely the most famous and recognisable concertos are Tchaikovsky no.1, Grieg, and Rachmaninoff 2. There are plenty more piano concertos though. Also often heard are Schumann, Liszt 1, Mozart D minor, Beethoven 5 as noted above, slow movement of Mozart no.21 (sometimes called "Elvira Madigan" after a film in which it was used). Beethoven has the most consistently popular concertos (out of a total of 5 - not including the piano version of his Violin Concerto, known as no.6). Rachmaninoff's No.3 is well-known by reputation though not so much for the music. The two Chopin Concertos are well known (also mentioned above), especially the slow movement of the F minor one. There are still more - why not find one to listen to?I would second the preceding entry. The most popular by far are the Tchaikovsky #1, the Rachmaninoff #2 and the Grieg A minor.

In no particular order, the top ten violin concertos are: * Violin Concerto in D Minor- Sibelius * Violin Concerto in D Major- Tchaikovsky * Violin Concerto in E Minor- Mendelssohn * Violin Concerto in D Major- Beethoven * Violin Concerto in A Minor- Glazunov * Violin Concerto in G Minor- Bruch * Violin Concerto in D Major- Brahms * Violin Concerto in G Minor- Prokofiev * Violin Concerto in A Minor- Bach * Violin Concerto in B Minor- Elgar This is definitely an "arguable" top 10 list, but they're all pretty famous concertos. Those are just the ones that came off the top of my head, so I'm sure I missed some other really good ones, but those are the only ones I can think of for now. The list was narrowed down a lot since it was just violin concertos, but these are definitely some of the best. Other notes: * Joshua Bell's CD of the Mendelssohn and the Bruch are fantastic. * Nigel Kennedy's perfomance of the Bach is great. * Schlomo Mintz plays excellent versions of the Mendelssohn and the Sibelius on Youtube. * Jascha Heifetz's CD compiled of the Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Glazunov is very good. He was a great violinist, but since he played so long ago, the recordings are not always that great.

One example of a musical piece where the performer is allowed to improvise a cadenza ad libitum is Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466. In this concerto, the cadenza towards the end of the first movement traditionally allows the pianist to showcase their improvisational skills within the structure of the piece.

B minor
There's Bach's concerto for two harpsichords and orchestra in d minor. That's baroque. There's also Poulenc's concerto for two pianos and orchestra in d minor. That's romantic. Technically, the answer to your question is no.
