Yes, I was referring to the F major Concerto, despite the original (incorrect) subject heading.  I could not find an A-R edition of the work on the A-R website or on World Cat.  The CD says the music came from Sikorski.  That publisher lists a score edited by the German pianist Adolf Drescher (1921-67).

Vox often made cuts. The old Ponti recordings are full of them (when they couldn't use an edition that already had cuts, as they did with  Moscheles 3, in the Reinecke edition.) The Kalkbrenner 1 with Hans Kann also used the Reinecke Edition, and cuts were taken in the finale of Goetz 2 (Ponti). The Ponti performance of Litolff's Concerto Symphonique No. 3 had the orchestral introduction to the 3rd movement completely omitted, and much music was taken out in the Galling traversals of both the Hummel 2nd and 3rd concertos. I believe the orchestral introduction to Hummel 4: I (Kann) was also trimmed.
