Piano Concerti by Schubert, Wagner, Mahler, Janacek, Sibelius, Bruckner
Mature Requiems by Wagner, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner**, Bach
Opera by Brahms, Mahler, Bruckner, Bach




** Bruckner's d minor requiem is rather youthful

Definitely a Bartok clarinet concerto.

Since Karl already took my "Make a Wish" (Nielsen's projected, but never written, horn concerto), I'll suggest ... hmm ... a quintet for piano and strings!

(Now I can't make up my mind between Ligeti, Janacek and Prokofiev as projected composers.)

Just to piss someone off:

Something complex by Elgar.  ;D

Just kidding. I want a Mahler Requiem.

I definitely agree with this but of course a Fanny Hensel piano concerto is a must, complete with some wonderful melodies, plenty of chromatic harmony and those wonderful augmented octave clashes.
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

I like this thread. I chose the Bruckbner organ concerto (it would have been glorius) and the Bartok Clarinet Concerto. Karl and I also agree on a Nielsen Horn Concerto, which we've mentioned elsewhere.

For my own part, I'd love to hear a Sixth Quartet or a String Symphony from Elliott Carter (the former is still possible, the latter unlikely), and an opera from Charles Ives.

Ives considered of doing an opera on the subject of Benedict Arnold, but the libretto, written by a releative, I think, was unusable. I can't think of who would have been able to write a suitable libretto in the 1910s, when Ives was at the height of his powers.

2 works? Then 2 more Mozart/da ponte operas would be nice.

...a instrumental ending for the 9th Symphony by Beethoven.

Hasn't anyone ever just recorded the vocal parts with instruments?  :-\

Verdi PC for me.  8)

I keep hearing in my head a Verdi PC last movement starting with the Dies Irae theme played by the piano (with the bass drum thwacks intact of course ;D)

A Webern opera.

And one that breaks the two hour barrier no matter how many DOZENS of miniature scenes/acts are required!

Second:

More opera from the master, Shostakovich.

His obvious love for the theatre deserved full flowering.

To be cut off like that...just criminal.

Three more symphonies from Mozart....I believe he was just revving up with 39-41.  :)

Also:

Another three albums worth of music via a collaboration between Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, "Cannonball" Adderley, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb.  (Especially the two in bold, as they were only together for about 8 months or so.)

Yes, as a matter of fact, conducted by Fricsay with Richter at the Piano. It is a wish thread... 8)

I think we all feel the same way bud. I wonder what would happen to Beethoven is he did?

2 Wishes are allowed.
Feel free to fantasize and make your own,  original proposal: choose a work that's never been composed but that would excite all music lovers' interest! hint: try to imagine something the composer is not known for (not a Brahms 5th symphony for example ::))

my 2 wishes
-- palestrina instrumental music (especially for organ) & music for solo voice
-- bach string trios
(does that count as 3?)

runners-up:
-- bach requiem
-- victoria secular music
"I am, therefore I think." -- Nietzsche

Such a compelling 'what if':

Mozart and Beethoven hitting their stride simultaneously (nearly, that is) and propelling the symphony to new heights.

If only Mozart had been given the chance...
