Well, that is the question. Does anyone know a transcription for piano?

Thanks

That piece is so idiomatic to the guitar that I find it hard to believe it would work in the piano-even if one could play the tremolo convincingly.

Yes, there is a piano version of Requerdos. I had a mp3 a couple of  years ago..

I have the score, it was transcribed by German Bragado.

Regretfully, it is copyrighted.

I assure you that it is better left on the guitar, or perhaps the Banjo?

Guitar has the advantage of easier repeated notes, but the piano can do this also..

I would imagine the 3 semiquaver groups would be displaced to form pianistic tremelos, using the note an octave above in the figuration..for a trans. on the piano.

“The Sound Always Comes First” — Andrea Bonatta on Teaching Liszt

Why tone matters more than speed, why reading Goethe matters as much as practising octaves, and how a single insight can transform a performance. Italian pianist and scholar Andrea Bonatta has spent decades exploring the contradictions of Franz Liszt, from performer to man of faith, virtuoso to poet.
