I wonder why nobody has yet voted for
2nd piano concerto.....

We gave it its due a few posts back. :)
Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Any thread like this is always subjective
For me its the sixth symphony - tragic but very inventive

Despite it's popularity, 'Romeo & Juliet' is a great work by any definition.
I would suggest that the 1st Violin Concerto is a great work, maybe because it is so unlike any VC that came before it.
Personally I'd suggest that the 5th symphony is 'greater' than the 6th, but there's not a lot in it.
