Symphonies are extant sketches for piano concertos.

They’re held in such high regard since without them orchestras would have nothing to play when they can’t find a pianist.

I prefer piano versions whenever available to the surviving orchestral reductions, but favs are LvB-6, LvB-9, LvB-7, Fantastique 1 & 2, WAM-40 and Brahms-4.

I may not be familiar with all their movements.

Lol. Pianists have far more trouble finding orchestras than vice versa. Except at the very low levels perhaps

I adore symphonic repertoire, but here is the list of some of my favorites:

Haydn 104
Mozart 38
Beethoven 5, 6, 7, 9
Schubert 9
Schumann 1
Mendelssohn 3, 4
Brahms 2, 4
Bruckner 3, 4, 7, 8
Tchaikocsky 4, 5, 6
Shostakovich 7, 8, 11
Mahler 1, 2, 3, 4
Franck
Dvorak 8, 9

Da Meph will refrain from commenting, since he doesn’t have that much knowledge of Scandinavian symphonic music, but I like Tveitt, eventhough he didn’t compose symphonies per se
