Well, for the second one there is no question...Op. 23 no. 5

The first is a bit tougher to distinguish...for the sake of having an answer, I am going to go with the Paganini Rhapsody. The 2nd is def. Rach's easiest concerto (by no means easy though!).
Asked if he had ever conducted any Stockhausen,Sir Thomas Beecham replied, "No, but I once trod in some."
