Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No 2: whose cadenza is this?

[pytheamateur]

I quite like the cadenzas played by these two pianists.  While they might not to identical, I think there is sufficient similarity for one to assume that neither pianist actually played her own cadenza.  Does anyone know then who wrote this cadenza?  It is neither too long nor too difficult and ties the piece together well in my opinion.  If one day I get to learn this piece, I think I will play this cadenza, if I can find the sheet music, that is.

Thank you.

I attached a number of them to this thread. You might like to check if it's one of those (or indeed if you like one of those more)

Thanks for the link.  It's not amongst those cadenzas.  I will of course look at them in more detail although at this stage I have already ruled Hamelin's out.  I'm not very fond of his transcriptions generally; I much prefer Volodos's.

The cadenza was composed by Liszt for one of his pupils. It can be found as part of the appendix to this edition (IMSLP link below) amongst other alternative readings and one other cadenza:
