has anyone played, or even heard, this piano rendition (transcription>?) by Liszt. After hearing dr. leslie howard play it i decided to take a look at it myself. Although quite long the 1st and 4th mvt.s are incredibly deep and very well written. Horowitz once said "Medtner is perhaps even deeper than Rachmaninoff" (or something like that), I now say "Hummel is perhaps deeper than Beethoven".

Seriously check out Leslie howard's recording on the complete liszt. or the HUmmel septett itself.

No i havent, but i have heard others works by Hummel and some of them are OK. Why dont you try with his original works for piano? I remember one of his sonatas sounds good.

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.
