The Pianist s 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 Pianist s 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 transcriber s output (as in the case
of the prodigiously prolific Liszt).
Maurice Hinson, Senior Professor Emeritus of Piano at the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, was founding editor of the
Journal of the American Liszt Society and is a contributor to the
New Grove Dictionary of American Music. He is known for his many
articles, videos, and lecture recitals, especially those on early
American piano music. He is author of several books on piano
literature, including the indispensable Guide to the Pianist s
Repertoire, 3rd edition (Indiana University Press).
