It’s worth mentioning that the fragment towards Symphony No. 17 was used in Peter Ruzicka’s …das Gesegnete, das Verfluchte…, so even the CPO cycle has them in a sense.
After a Norrköping performance of the Viola Concerto, I sat on the train back to Stockholm next to one of the orchestral musicians. Until we chatted, she was completely unaware that the concerto was an unfinished work. I had never thought before that even if conductors carefully study a score, those insights aren’t necessarily shared with the performers.
