As for the second question, I've written a few: https://music.sketchee.com Bagley's National Emblem and the second movement of the Debussy Quartet being the most notable ones. I've been working on a transcription of the Ravel Quartet for a while but I don't have a complete score. If anyone has the scores of the Debussy or Ravel Quartet please let me know! :)

The fun thing about playing transcriptions is both trying to get them to sound them like the original and also bring out something new that the piano brings to the piece.

I'd like to see "In Storm and Sunshine" as a piano transcription--another piece I'd arrange if I had the score. Rimsky-Korsakov's Procession of the Nobles, Ravel's Piano Trio (Maybe as a four hand duet), Shostakovich's Trio, Mozart's best stuff is for orchestra and needs to meet the piano. That's all I can think of for now

I forgot to answer this. I've been working on my own transcription of Scheherezade for one piano. I'm tired of seeing nothing but Prince and the Princess transcriptions. In fact, that piece is boring compared to the movement before it. Anybody know of a solo piano transcription of this piece?

However, I've been working on one for solo piano, as I have no second pianist to play it with.

Are you saying you don't like the Pletnev arrangement? :o
