Never seen a decent one, only several bad ones.

If i did have a decent one, i probably have deleted it as i detest the bloody piece.

I dont listen music much, i basicly only play. I suppose that that is the reason i still can enjoy some overplayed pieces ;)

Do you like the other piano concertos, particularly the 2nd sans those 'bloody' awful cuts in the slow movement?

I personally prefer the 2nd concerto, but submit Scharwenka and Sauer has more to offer.

In fact, almost the Schumann is better than this badly sewn together patchwork quilt.

Looking through my trashcan file, there are 2 good ones. Grainger did the beginning, but Classens did the whole concerto.

Both copyrighted and i guess out of print, but you might try googling.

Found a version on ebay whilst shopping for concertos
