[doesn't exist]

You forgot Zemlinsky's sinfonietta.
AI might be able to solve the problem, but it doesn't exist.

Just saw Viardot-Garcia's 2-act operetta Le dernier sorcier to a libretto by Turgenev (and orchestrated by Eduard Lassen) at Ithaca College. There's a 2005 recording of this 1989-rediscovered work but it completely flew under my radar- unfortunately. Terrific work and production.

Thanks! Very fond of Wilms' symphonies and at least some of his chamber works and piano concerti but haven't heard these.

One can also(?) use |NCRecordings= to link to external N(on)C(ommercial)Recordings.

btw before uploading simulated/midi recordings to imslp, do check the Policy on uploading recordings.

about Senfter, she's the next Radio 3 COTW.

Two of the concertos are in full score at imslp; Fleisher has the parts but they could be extracted without Fleisher...

the sort key needed fixing, as it placed the composer under Fesca rather than Kauffmann for some heckknows reason.

Draeseke 4, at least, is absolutely in the tradition ... (and the slow movement, I'd argue, no more puts it out of court than Beethoven writing a characteristic (not program) symphony like his 6th- though on the whole the Comica makes me think more of a more somewhat updated Beethoven 8.)

1845 leaves poor Mr Fuchs (sym.3 also composed at age 59 in 1906) right out

Waitwaitwaitwaitholdit. If composers born as late as 1860 are allowed into the mix... I deliberately didn't even look at some composers as possibilities for the sin of being born in the 1850s.
Also, Gernsheim's symphonies are not all entirely non-programmatic, so out he drops, tsk. (That may explain why Klughardt didn't come up either.)
I think Woyrsch's later symphonies may incorporate elements of both the Brahms and other traditions? (or is making your 6th symphony a Sinfonia sacra just a more liturgical extension of Beethoven 9?)

Possibly better example: H Grädener's symphony no.2 (1914, age 70).

are we referring, since we know little about these composers' actual symphonies for the most part, to their nationality, to their preference or lack thereof for non-programmatic symphonism , or ?

Just found that disc on Amazon myself. -and that's what I meant by wood brass gut piano, yes (borrowing the nickname of a work by Vagn Holmboe...)

The score and parts are at IMSLP, too (where alternate instrumentations including common garden piano quintet and trae-messing-tarm-klaver (sorry wood, brass, string, piano) options are noted.)
