The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Are you looking for the one by Ravel?

He or she means Gould's transcription, of Ravel's transcription, of La Valse. I don't remember if Gould's transcription was ever published or not. And if it was, it couldn't be posted here anyway. The Ravel transcription is on IMSLP.

Most people take the Ravel trans as their starting point and figure out what you can actually add in or not from the ossias. As far as I remember, this is what Gould has done.
If you're playing well enough to attempt this piece, you should be able to manage that (time taxing as it may be).
