The G major was apparently written by him at age 10. It's not listed as lost, so the fact that everyone ignored it may say something about its quality?

The G major exists in complete manuscript as far as I can deduct from the articles on the net. The fact that something is ignored for so long doesn't always translate into its quality.

In 2012 I met with a descendant of Eugene d'Albert. It was they who told me about the early concerto in G major which is in Dresden. In their opinion it was of curiosity value only. For completists it might be worth recording but otherwise is best left to scholars.

Trying to be positive, could that signal an intention to work on it?
