What a great thread! I found it looking to see if anyone else was as impressed with the Draeseke Sonata as I was upon finding it for the first time this morning.

Here's a very nice recording with the score on youtube:

(beginning of rant)

I have to take issue with the assumption that lesser known works are third rate. When composers such as Bach, Schubert, and Mahler have all been seriously neglected at various points in history, including in their own lifetimes or immediately after their deaths, this is not an attitude that passes muster with me. We are in this wonderful period when the *unfairly* neglected repertoire can be so easily shared and found through the internet. What a great time to be a musician!

Transcriptions can be very rewarding, but not always. Some great pieces lose the essence of their greatness when not played on the instrument that the composer crafted them for. A couple of examples: Mozart's Clarinet Concerto played on the flute (I've only suffered the Adagio, perhaps the outer movements work better but one movement was more than enough for me), and Prokofiev's Flute Sonata played on the clarinet (I've heard it done by a very great clarinet virtuoso - it did not work at all musically for me).
