Why not the Liszt Piano Concerto # 1 ?

No, *why* the Liszt Piano Concerto #1? You tell us.

I'm reminded of Rosenthal's alledged comment about Horowitz'
Tchaikovsky # 1 :  " He may be an Octavian, but he's no Caesar."

You'll have to explain that -- to me, at least.

Octavian: young boy, plays octaves.

Caesar: old man, wins wars.

In which case, Rosenthal was quite terribly wrong. Horowitz was a
Caesar, much more than Rosenthal ever became.
