Thalberg or Liszt?

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

I assume it is the Liszt.

This has been a popular theme for transcriptions.

Thalberg
Herz
Heller
Prudent
Czerny
Pixis
Meybeer himself.

PS i just realized that hamelin has performed this many times live. i wont bother checking all the recordings i have, but im pretty sure he has always done this transcription.

Mr Hamelin has gone up in my estimation.
