The Pianists Guide to Transcrip-tions  Arrange-ments  and Paraphrases Maurice Hinson Lists transcriptions for piano from orchestral and other compositions  more than 2 000 works in all.  \"... a thorough summary of an important body of music written by a musician of extraordinary  perhaps unrivaled knowledge of the repertory.\"  American Music Teacher Some of the most celebrated composers Beethoven  Brahms  Busoni  Liszt  Rachmaninoff  and Ravel prepared piano transcriptions of some of their own works  as well as those of other composers. Maurice Hinson has selected  from the myriads of transcriptions now in existence  more than 2 000 such works of real musical worth. The Pianists Guide to Transcriptions  Arrangements  and Paraphrases describes pieces for solo piano  duet  and two pianos  as well as outstanding transcriptions for one hand. Most of them are written for piano(s) alone  but a considerable number are scored for piano(s) and a small instrumental ensemble or a full orchestra.  Thanks to the organization of this volume  the user can see at a glance the various transcriptions that have been made of a particular composition (say  a Schubert song) and also become aware of the breadth of a particular transcribers output (as in the case of the prodigiously prolific Liszt).
