You were all correct, the answer was Burlesque/ke:
Richard Strauss - Burleske For Piano And Orchestra In D Minor. For Anton, here is Glen playing it from memory.
Marked as extraneously difficult and even unplayable since its composition in 1886, Richard Strauss' Burleske for Piano and Orchestra rarely finds its way onto CD programs and even less frequently in live concert halls. Much like the extreme demands Strauss places on orchestral musicians, the technical feats called for in Burleske are truly Herculean; 10-note chords, huge leaps, enormous reaches, and rapid filigree passages fill the 20-plus minutes of music.
von Bülow considered it a "complicated piece of nonsense" and refused to learn it. He said the piano part was "Lisztian" and "unplayable"
Havergal Brian - Burlesque Variations on an Original Theme - written in 1903 but only first performed in 1980
Malcolm Arnold - Burlesque for horn and orchestra , an unfinished work from 1944 which was only discovered in 2001 by Alan Poulton.
the manuscript was discovered among a pile of other sketches during one of my many visits to the composer’s home in the winter of 2001. Many of the pages of the ink full score had separated, were out of order and interleaved with a pencil short score but once I had located the title page the re-assembly of the full score was relatively simple. I never found the the last two pages of the full score but these were reconstructed from the complete short score by Philip Lane (who also edited the work for its world premiere, to be given by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Arnold Festival on October 22, 2006). The score showed signs of incompleteness and haste - there were several passages with indications of "filling-in" to be completed plus many amendments in red crayon and pencil - Arnold’s ‘call-up’ may well have put an end to his initial burst of creativity that summer!
Long live AA!!!Pacta sunt servanda !!!

It was written for Hans von Bülow, however:
Havergal Brian - Burlesque Variations on an Original Theme - written in 1903 but only first performed in 1980
Malcolm Arnold - Burlesque for horn and orchestra , an unfinished work from 1944 which was only discovered in 2001 by Alan Poulton.
Well I found the research for that B very interesting. Which is what AA is about. And it led me to this about Glen Gould: "Genius within - The inner life of Glenn Gould"
Many apologies to you Flay and also to Anna and all other coleslaw lovers, standards, indeed, must be maintained. Thank you for the GG link - wonderful virtuosity IMHO....
Long live AA!!!
