There are now at least ELEVEN (!) guitar concerti, so could not one of those be arranged and elaborated?

I was actually thinking of arranging his estudios sencillos for piano but haven't had the time.

The Brahms Third Piano Concerto after the Violin Concerto

http://www.channelclassics.com/dejanbrahms.html

Well, a few brief moments sounded good to me. It's a piece I know inside out since a very close friend used to play it a great deal. And so I suspect I will always want to hear the violin in this piece, and will always hear my friend's playing in my head. Still, the Beethoven Piano Concerto 6 after his Violin Concerto works exceedingly well, so why not?

Sounds a bit like Rachmaninoff/Warenberg: Piano Concerto "no 5" after the 2nd Symphony

Personally I think this one works quite well.

First off, I would like to add:

Scriabin: 'Mysterium' (the complete work composed entirely by him; quite apart from the very intriguing efforts by Alexander Nemtin to expand Scriabin's sketches).

Jehan Alain: symphonies, concertos, anything really.

Tournemire: choral music (I'm thinking more for the church setting than on stage with orchestra)

Alkan: organ symphony

Reger: I think an organ concerto could be quite interesting

Respighi: organ symphony or concerto (his Suite for organ and string orchestra notwithstanding)

As another contributor has already said, the list seems endless really...

Xenakis - Piano Concerto?
You think if he names keqrops or synaphai as Piano Concerto. Would get more performances?

Chopin - Symphony... only if his orchestrations were at least as good as franchomme.
Might had made a lot of mazurkas for orchestra..

Mussorgsky - Piano Concerto

That's all I can think of right now... but, I think that a piano concerto by Mussorgsky would have been extremely interesting.

Time for the 'Pieces that should-N't have been written...' thread? Personally, I think 'Carmina Burana' should be written orff.

Well, I did in fact suggest the same idea previously in this thread (20th. July).
Apart from Mahler 8, Cage 4'33" would also have to go into my personal Room 101.
