Webern's work list includes a surprising number of arrangements, including
one of J Strauss II's Schatzwalzer (Treasure) from 1921 for piano quintet
and harmonium.

This reminds me of recently hearing for the first time in ages Otto
Klemperer's Merry Waltz, more faintly amused than merry, perhaps.  I think
his very Mahlerian Symphony #2 has been rereleased on an EMI CD - well
worth investigating.
