The nicest transcription IMO is the one by the pianist Earl Wild; I don't have a link unfortunately.

In my mind, too, this beats the other transcriptions.  I've been at it quite a while already... :'(

Somewhere, if I can find it, I have a nearly-legible manuscript of that Wild transcription (photocopy, not the original) which as I recall differs in some details from the one linked to above. I'll dig it out and compare them and if it does prove significantly different I'll try to scan it.
