For extra kicks and giggles I'll add the following (dates are of publication
I think.....).  Does anyone know when Roussel's "Concerto for Small
Orchestra" was written?:

   Walter Piston       Concerto for Orchestra   1934
   Hilding Rosenberg   Concerto for Orchestra   1949
   Geoffrado Petrassi  Concerto for Orchestra   1953
   Alexander Tansman   Concerto for Orchestra   1954
   Benjamin Lees       Concerto for Orchestra   1961
   Michael Tippett     Concerto for Orchestra   1964
   Roberto Gerhard     Concerto for Orchestra   1965
   Thea Musgrave       Concerto for Orchestra   1968
   Ezra Laderman       Concerto for Orchestra   1974
   Richard R. Bennett  Concerto for Orchestra   1974
   Samuel Adler        Concerto for Orchestra   1975
   Henri Lazarof       Concerto for Orchestra   1978
   Stephen Paulus      Concerto for Orchestra   1983
   Roger Sessions      Concerto for Orchestra   1983
   Shulamit Ran        Concerto for Orchestra   1986
   John McCabe         Concerto for Orchestra   1987
   Karel Husa          Concerto for Orchestra   1994

and others I couldn't find dates for:  Donald Erb, Joan Tower, Anton
Garcia-Abril, Yorgos Sicilianos, Bruno Bettinelli, Julien Francois Zbinden,
Leonard Bernstein ('Jubilee Games'), Hovhaness (wrote at least 8), Robin
Holloway (at least 3), Rodion Shchedrin (several), David Diamond (Concerto
for Chamber Orchestra), Roussel....ok enough of that!
