Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was not only a highly skilled and innovative composer, but also widely recognized as the foremost piano virtuoso of the 19th century. Additionally, he played a significant role in popularizing the works of other composers by creating exceptional piano transcriptions of notable orchestral, operatic, and various other pieces. These transcriptions, many of which are considered masterpieces in their own right, made it possible for individuals residing far from traditional concert venues to reproduce and appreciate music that would otherwise have been inaccessible to them.

Liszt's unparalleled expertise in the art of transcription is showcased in this extensive assortment of beloved favorites. The collection includes Rossini's "La Danza," Bach's "Organ Fantasy and Fugue in G minor," Beethoven's "Joyous gathering of the peasants" from the "Pastorale" Symphony, Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" and "Dance of the Elves" from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Schubert's "The Trout" and "Erikönig," Tchaikovsky's "Polonaise" from Eugene Onegin, among many others.
