Lizst's transcription of Schubert's Valse Caprice No. 6 -- track 9 on
the Horowitz in Moscow CD -- is a great piece of music. I heard it on
the radio today for the first time in years, and was reminded that at
one point I wanted to look into these pieces deeper some day.
That day has come. Can anyone tell me how many of Schubert's works that
Lizst transposed? Is there a CD out there devoted to this genre? What
other works did Lizst transpose? There's a a box of piano transcriptions
of Beethoven's symphonies out there (Zimmerman? Katsaris?). Did all
of these transcriptions come from Lizst? I was under the possible
misimpression that Lizst did only a part of B5. Any opinions on this
box?
