List of compositions for arpeggione

Until the end of the 20th century, the arpeggione's repertoire was limited to Schubert's Sonata for arpeggione and fortepiano in A minor D821 (1824), a lost concerto by H. A. Birnbach (1823) and a solo piece by Schmidt (1823). Since 2002, many composers have written for arpeggione. These new compositions are listed here below by genre, with the composition's date.
