The Piano Concerto No. 4 in D minor, Op. 70, by Anton Rubinstein is a Romantic concerto for piano and orchestra. It was among Rubinstein's best-known concert works and remained in the repertoire of several major virtuoso pianists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Rubinstein, himself a celebrated pianist, left five numbered piano concertos. He composed the Fourth Concerto in 1864; the work was first published in 1865 and was dedicated to the violinist Ferdinand David.
