Perhaps OT, but when looking at this, I realized that to me "Concerto
for piano" implies a concerto for piano solo. But I always interpret
"Piano Concerto" as a concerto for piano & orchestra. Maybe it's just
me?

Off the top of my head, I cannot think of any concertos for only-one-single-instrument-without-orchestral-accompaniment, so I don't understand "Concerto for Piano" as you do. (Ignorance is bliss ;)

I think I'd like to see the complete instrumentation ("Concerto for
piano and orchestra) if that (IMO) more formal expression is used.

I prefer the more concise formulation. Many work titles, I believe, do have "Concerto for X and Orchestra", but I prefer to avoid that for track titles.

(Here's an example where a label is using the short formulation for the ReleaseTitle, and long titles elsewhere: http://bis.se/index.php?op=album&aID=BIS-CD-1574 )
