 From the dusty recesses of my memory, I recall that Janos Starker, in
the early days of LP, recorded a cello concerto transcribed (probably)
by Gaspar Cassado from Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 3, K. 447.

There is, of course, a 'cello part in the incomplete Mozart Sinfonia
Concertante in A (along with violin and viola parts.  This has been
completed several times starting in the late 19th century, but I don't
recall the details.

On to Mahler's piano concerto!
Four Gershwin symphonies wouldn't be a bad idea, either!
