Unfortunately you're right...

He has created such beautiful piano pieces either for solo piano or for 4 hands... E.g. his slavonic dances (btw I persuaded my piano teacher to play the first and fifth on a recital and we brought the house down!

), all of his humoresques, his american suite, his scsottish dances, even some symphonies and symphonic poems arranged for piano 4 hands and his piano concerto, which as I have read is doomed to obscurity only for not being virtuosic enough. What to say...

Edit: I almost forgot his poetic tone pictures and his overtures (you can find carnival arranged for solo piano...)
