I think the Hexentanz is for cello and orchestra. And it's an arrangement of a cello/piano piece.
The First Piano Concerto exists also in a Double Cd Millennium Classics (Eugene List piano; unexpected conductor Carlos Chavez; unexpected coupling -besides other Mac Dowells- Chavez's Piano Concerto).
I always thought the Hxentanz was one of 2 Fantasiestucke and was for solo piano - I know Stephen Hough (on his piano encores album) has recorded it as well as James Barbagello (on Marco-Polo / Naxos)...

The List version of the two MacDowell concertos is a reissue of an old Westminster LP. I guess the Chavez PC was added on to fill it out.

The
Hexantanz was originally the second of two Fantasy Pieces for solo piano, op.17(1884). The op.17, No.2 version is definitely for
piano and orchestra.
Sorry. The cello and orchestra piece on my CD was the Romance.
