Scherzo second rare?

Probably only in symphonies, not so rare in chamber music, and in symphonies only rare by proportional amount - lots of symphonies out there. Also at least: Mendelssohn's "Scottish"; Max Bruch's symphony no. 1 (1867-8, I think), George Onslow's 4th symphony (about 1847); Eduard Franck's symphony op. 52 (1883), the minuetto second movement of Louis Théodore Gouvy's fifth symphony (1865) (also recently recorded), most of Joachim Raff's symphonies (symphonies 1 in 5 mvts. of 1859-61, 4 of 1871, 6 of 1873, 7 of 1875, 8 of 1876, 9-11 of 1878, 1879 and 1876), Hubert Parry's 2nd symphony (1883, though revised 1887); Felix Draeseke's 1st symphony (1868-72); Charles Villiers Stanford symphonies 1 (1876), 3 (1887); George Whitefield Chadwick's 2nd symphony (1886); (which predate or are contemporary with Bruckner 8 (1887) though not the original version of Bruckner 2 (which latter version is probably about as well-known as most of these examples today, though; Raff in his own time was very well-known, on the other hand, and might well have influenced some other composers...)
