Very cool.  Did Hummel did other Mozart transcriptions?  It would be such a kick to learn the overtures of either Magic Flute, Marriage of Figaro, Cosi or Abduction.

There are opera scores with piano reduction - usually they are pretty decent transcription.
Hummel made several arrangements of Mozart symphonies (Haffner, Linz, Prague, Jupiter etc.) for piano quartet. Liszt in turn transcribed Hummel's piano septet for solo piano.

Mozart was almost as popular with transcribers as Bach.

There are literally hundreds of them.

My favourite is perhaps the Thalberg transcription of Lacrymosa.
