Sterndale Bennett - Konzertstück in A minor WO 48

[promusician]

I know that the the RAM has the MS for Bache's G minor concerto, and also at least one of his other works for piano and orchestra, namely a Polonaise, which was later published in a revised piano solo form as his Op9.
Then there is, of course John Francis Barnett's D minor concerto, but this would have to be orchestrated - although Martin Yates would be and ideal candidate for the job! But perhaps the 2-piano concerto can also be given the same treatment if necessary|

The 2 piano reduction is made from original manuscript which includes the full score

Wo 48/A.4, Autograph full score of movements 1 and 3, final version; titled '5th Concerto in A minor', not signed or dated.
WO 48/A.2, Autograph full score of movement 2; untitled, not signed or dated.
WO 48/A.1, Autograph full score of movements 1 and 3, 1843 version; titled 'Concert-Stück - Pianoforte, with Orchestra', signed and dated May 1843 and 2 Jun 1843.
WO 48/A.3, Movement 3, piano part with orchestral cues, not signed, dated 1843.
WO 48/C.1, Set of parts in a professional hand for Finale only, dated Jun 1844.
WO 48/C.2, Set of parts probably copied by William Godwin, dated 1848.

Not the famous William Godwin who died 1836 (father of Mary Shelley but famous in his own right) but is anything known about this William Godwin?

I'm sorry if I did not make myself clear! I was referring to the 2-piano concerto in collaboration with G.MacFarren. Depending on what is still extant, Martin Yates is surely the person to do any necessary completion/orchestration of what is missing! Simon Callaghan and Hiroaki Takenouchi would be ideal for this!

Another contender that comes to mind is the concerto by Charles Edward Horsley, the MS of which is just missing a page at the end, if I recall correctly.

I see. Rumours said that the 2 piano concerto is not a good composition, although I haven't heard the music myself. Maybe just for sake of completion, it will be included in the album. Most likely paired with WSB 4th concerto, which is so underperformed.
I am thinking of a 5 CD set of teacher and pupil piano concerto series: Cipriani Potter - WS Bennett - FE Bache
