Just wondered if anyone had a preference of the transcription author  and why. Which one does Valentina Lisitsa play?  Have a good week everyone!

Nothing can beat the original.

Nothing can beat the original.

Possibly, but it is (a) not a transcription, and (b) requires an orchestra. My practice room is a bit small to hold one comfortably.

I'm surprised to find I don't have any transcription of this on my shelves.

I have a transcription of Robert Schultz of this piece. The reason i have his is that its the first transcription of it that i encountered, and it sounds pretty decent.

Why not learn the original and play with a MMO CD?

Why not transcribe it yourself and throw in bus of the orchestra with your free fingers...
