The obvious omission here is Mozart's 24th piano concerto K 491 in C minor.
This is the most compelling of his piano concertos and should be part of a
basic repertoire.  Mozart uses the largest wind complement in any of his
other concertos giving this piece more power and richness of tone.  The
emotional range is bleak, grim and chilly.
