Richard,

Regarding the double concerto we only have a score written by Brahms. All other material is either lost or destroyed by Brahms. There is nothing to proof te remark of Kalbeck.

The page with sketchs for piano are also known as A 121. This page also contains sketchs for opus 117 No. 2 and 3 and opus 120 No. 1

The page with sketches for orchestra are also known as A 122. This page also contains sketches for opus 121 No. 4

I think this too little.

Regards,

Arno.

Here are my two cents

1. Max Kalbeck stated that Brahms used material for the 5th symphony in the concerto for violin and cello.

2. McCorkle has in the Werkverzeichnis in Anhang III Nr.14 Sketches for orchestra probably in c minor and as Nr. 15 piano sketches. It is suggested that these sketches could relate to (another) 5th of Brahms.

The entry of the first concerto in D minor is also marked with a '*', so location unknown. It was composed and played as part of the his final exam in 1900. The concerto is Opus 6.

I have a copy of the book. The entry of the second piano concerto in D flat major is marked with a '*' which indicates that the location of the source is unknown.
