Herz 5, Litolff 5 and Moscheles 7 for me.

Latest favourites are Draeseke and Bowen 4 (not convinced about the others)

The Draeseke is MASSIVE

iu, what's with this obsession with giving away music?

I would love to give an opinion, but as of the moment, I cannot play any of these pieces.

And I'm sure Thal already has those... and more.

Here, it is mostly so that those interested have a fighting chance of knowing what we are talking about even if they though there were no compositions between Czerny's Opp. 1- 298, 300 - 598, and 600 to 739.

Sometimes it is to save the trouble to responders to post something I already got from another source, but which would be silly (IMHO) to carve out when I am asking for stuff.

Other than that, I would need to talk with my OCD support group.

I gotta agree with Thal on one count: Litolff 5 is his best concerto, and the best in this thread. From your list, the 4th of the same composer is the best in my opinion. Litolff's concertos are some of the best of the neglected ones in my opinion. Shame his first has been lost, possibly forever.
