Goodevening Ian,

I would go for the Sutermeister (from ýour´ list), but:
what about Albumblatt and ´Tarantulla´ from Max Reger....
Or, the first movement off Mercadante´s concerto (skip some bars from the
orchestra intro): very, very positive entrance!
Pfff, and what do you think about the pieces of Alban Berg?
You ´have to´ end with Poulencs 3rd movement!

(Well, it seems that I could go on and on...:) I go to bed now!

Yours
Jeroen T. Salm
