Make A Wish: another idiotic poll

[Lilas Pastia]

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 )

[karlhenning]

I voted for the Janáček symphony, and my Make a Wish piece is the Nielsen horn concerto.

[Sergeant Rock]

A Bruckner organ concerto would be awesome. My second wish is for a minor key string quintet from Gustav Mahler, composed, wedged, between Das Lied and the Ninth symphony.

Edit: I realize that the suggestion of a Verdi Macbeth flies in the face of my own injunction "try to imagine something the composer is not known for (not a Brahms 5th symphony for example )" 

Check out the edited poll for an alternative suggestion. I voted for the Verdi concerto and Janacek symphony. The Debussy was a hard choice: he did compose a concertante work for piano (Ballade), but I'd love to hear him in his late manner in strict concerto structure.

A Janacek Symphony, and a instrumental ending for the 9th Symphony by Beethoven.

[Drasko]

Scriabin String Quartet

[Guido]

A Messiaen cello concerto, or violin concerto. Rostropovich had in fact commissioned one in the 80s (or rather requested one), but Messiaen never got round to it. There is the Cncert a quartre of course.

A Gerschwin string concerto would have been great I'm sure. The Honegger cello concerto is actually quite close in style.

An Ives, Scriabin, Mahler or Ravel string concerto too...

But yeah Janacek Symphony or Debussy concerto would also be lovely.

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

Harry, you're wicked! 

[Maciek]

Nice one, André!

I voted for the 2 piano concerti.

A Messiaen cello concerto, or violin concerto.

And this would have gotten the Verdi vote but I didn't see it soon enough...

Hmm... If I could redirect the course of musical history...

You could really have quite a bit of fun of this topic  

Of the choices, I'd go with the Clarinet Piece.

Elgar would have been a tailor? 

[Mark G. Simon]

A Bartók clarinet concerto sounds like a fabulous idea! Considering the clarinet writing in Contrasts and Miraculous Mandarin, it would also be one of the most difficult clarinet concertos ever.

Bela Bartok came under the influence of Richard Strauss for a brief period. During this period he wrote the tone poem, Kossuth. Bartok also made a piano transcription of Strauss's Ein Heldenleben and played it in concert in Vienna.

My wish is to have been at that concert. Obviously Bartok and Strauss went their seperate ways with little respect for each other's compositions.

Debussy should have continued with Afternoon of a Faun.

[karlhenning]

Debussy should have continued with Afternoon of a Faun.

You mean, he ought to have composed the interlude and postlude which he had originally schemed?

[Lilas Pastia]

He was to have renamed the piece The Faun on Quaalude.
