God bless you for this one. Mayer piano music is wonderful and so underrated that no one would dare more to execute his concertante. At least we have a midi..... One day someone would make it humanly. With thanks again
There's actually a fair number of Mayer's works on IMSLP, including another earlier concerto (sadly lacking the orchestral parts, so I can't transcribe it unless I find another source). There's a bit of confusion in that there are two Charles Mayers (I believe father and son? But that's only a guess as one is occasionally referred to as "Jr.") And there's apparently some doubt as to who wrote what.
I am by no means an expert - this concerto is the only work of his that I am familiar with, and only because of my work for this video, though it's enough to make me interested in taking a deeper look. I'm going by comments on the IMSLP and Wikipedia pages (linked in the description). I would suspect that most of them are by the elder, but there's a couple works that have publication dates after his death in 1862 that are more likely the work of the younger (died in 1904), though posthumous publication is not unusual. (And I'm only guessing that the two are related based on the "Jr." sometimes seen in the name. It could be just a coincidence.)
Obrigado por ouvir. O objetivo deste canal é divulgar obras esquecidas que não foram gravadas por uma orquestra real. Espero que alguém com acesso a uma orquestra se inspire para gravá-la de verdade.

@@Darrel_Hoffman interesting.... Didn't know about father and son. Who's the author of op 200, the wonderful studies, father or son?

Concerto muito bonito, pena que a orquestra é fake.
