Concerto Suggestions!

[piano_ant]

I desperately want to enter a piano competition in fall of this year, However, a concerto is required.

I have the first and second "movements"of The Liszt 1st finished, but upon looking at the latter half, I'm not sure if I could have it prepared by the fall (at least confidently). Any Concertos out there you can recommend? Possibly a bit on the shorter side, no Tchaikovsky or anything like that. I've been looking around But I'm incredibly indecisive.

Suggestions?

Paganini Rhapsody
Saint-Saens 2, 4

These are rather short.

SS2 is a real favorite of mine.

However, I instead recommend Totentanz.  It's not too hard and it's some flipping incredible, powerful music.

Do you have the sheetmusic of totentanz?

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I'm really liking that Totentanz Idea as I've given the solo version a go before but I completely forgot about the Original version. I'm checking to see if this piece will fly. Keep 'em coming guys! Thanks!

You should seriously consider Liszt no.2 ... amazing !

I just wanted to say thanks to you guys who responded. I ended up going with the Totentanz and damn it isn't easy but I love it. Thanks Again.

How about a Mozart concerto, no. 21 or the easy one in I think it is A major?
