[edit] Not sure if worth noting... ?
Gernsheim's cello concerto was given its British premiere by Pablo Casals (in Nov. 1909) ( "Music in Liverpool" (Dec. 1 1909). The Musical Times 50 (802): 806. ISSN 0027-4666.)

- If Casals premiered the concerto I think it's worth noting. I wouldn't bother with the Pauer performance - he is unknown, and it probably wasn't a premiere performance. - Eyeresist 05:06, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Almost unknown, but it wasn't a premiere. And the Casals a premiere in Britain but not, I think, a premiere without qualification- will look into that; I've looked through the Neue Zeitschrift reprinted back issues where notes of performances of some of these works (including, at least later on, the cello concerto which became I think fairly popular at one point) were routine, my notes are somewhere... (True, one already knows that Gernsheim was associated with musicians of continuing repute - I admit this would not add information there!) Schissel | Sound the Note! 09:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Piano conc.
Also, a Max Pauer (possibly 1866-1945, son of Ernst Pauer?) played the piano concerto in C minor (from 1869 [1]) in London (cond. Charles Hallé) in Jan 1885 ( "Music in Manchester" (Feb. 1885). Musical Times and Singing-Class Circular 26 (504): 82. ISSN 0958-8434.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 19:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
