ARRANGEMENTS AND TRANSCRIPTIONS OF OTHER COMPOSER'S WORKS
- Webern wrote orchestrations of pieces for voice and piano written by several composers (Bach,
Liszt, Schubert, Strauss, Wolf); reductions of full orchestral pieces to chamber ensemble, many
by Arnold Schoenberg, and piano transcriptions of orchestral pieces.
- Perhaps the most famous arrangement, is that of the six voiced ricercare from Bach's Musical
Offering, introduced to almost every conservatory student of composition.
- With one instrument to each voice, a selection of disparate timbres (fl, ob, Ehn, cln, bcln, bn, hn,
trp, tmb, timp., hp, str) is used to isolate and fragment the lines into their smallest meaningful
musical substructures.
- Another notable (presumably still in MS) is a piano transcription of Paganiniana Op. 65 by
Alfredo Casella.
