This article lists the various treatments given by Franz Liszt to the works of almost 100 other composers.
These treatments included transcriptions for other instruments (predominantly solo piano), arrangements, orchestrations, fantaisies, reminiscences, paraphrases, illustrations, variations, and editions.
Liszt also extensively treated his own works in a similar manner, but these are not tallied here—neither are his treatments of national (or "folk") melodies whose composers are unknown, nor other anonymous works.
In most cases, Liszt arranged only one or two pieces by a composer, but he delved more deeply into the works of Bach, Beethoven, Berlioz, Donizetti, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Mozart, Rossini, Schubert, Verdi, and Wagner.
The earliest-born composer whose works Liszt dealt with was Orlande de Lassus (born c. 1532). Jacques Arcadelt was born earlier (c. 1507), but Liszt's treatment was not of Arcadelt's original work, rather of a setting by Pierre-Louis Dietsch loosely based on Arcadelt. The last composer to die whose works Liszt dealt with was Géza Zichy (1849–1924).

(Mozart was deeply involved in the circumstances that led to the first publication of the Miserere: He heard it in the Sistine Chapel when visiting Rome at the age of 15, and famously wrote it down from memory, although publishing the work or even writing it down was prohibited on pain of excommunication. Rather than imposing this penalty, the Pope later congratulated him on his genius).À la chapelle Sixtine was the basis of the third movement (Preghiera) of Tchaikovsky's "Mozartiana" (Orchestral Suite No. 4), but he used only the Ave verum corpus component. |

Suite en forme de valse (piano 4-hands; 1882) | Valse de concert d'après la "Suite en forme de valse" | piano | pub. 1889 | S.430 | János Végh von Vereb (1845–1918) was a close friend of Liszt. He studied with Károly Thern and Mihály Mosonyi but decided to pursue a judicial career while continuing his involvement in music as an amateur. With Liszt's approval he transcribed for 2 pianos 8‑hands several of Liszt's works, such as the Dante Symphony , and the Grand Galop Chromatique. [51] In 1879 Liszt dedicated to Végh his symphonic poem Hunnenschlacht and his transcription for piano 4-hands of that work as well as Hamlet, Die Ideale, and Zwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust. In 1881 Végh became vice-president of the Budapest Academy of Music, Liszt being the president. [52] [53] |

Opera Tristan und Isolde (1859):
| Isoldens Liebestod | 1867 | S.447 | In his concert version of the Prelude (Overture) and Isolde's Act 3 final aria "Mild und leise", first performed in 1862 (several years before the premiere of the opera in 1865), Wagner called the Prelude the Liebestod (Love-death) while Isolde's final aria "Mild und leise" he called the Verklärung (Transfiguration). Liszt named his transcription of "Mild und leise" Isoldes Liebestod; he prefaced his score with a four-bar motto from the Love Duet from Act II, which in the opera is sung to the words "sehnend verlangter Liebestod". Liszt's transcription became well known throughout Europe well before Wagner's opera reached most places, and the final scene is now always called by the name Liszt gave it, Liebestod. [56] | |

However, as it conforms to no single passage in that scene, it is thus a paraphrase, not strictly a transcription. [56] | |

The German Fach system is a method of classifying singers, primarily opera singers, according to the range, weight, and color of their voices. It is used worldwide, but primarily in Europe, especially in German-speaking countries and by repertory opera houses.
The Canadian Opera Company (COC) is an opera company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the largest opera company in Canada and one of the largest producers of opera in North America. The COC performs at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, which was purpose-built for opera and ballet and is shared with the National Ballet of Canada. For forty years until April 2006, the COC had performed at the O'Keefe Centre.
During the course of his lifetime, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) established relationships with many of his musical contemporaries. Beethoven was notoriously temperamental, eccentric and difficult to get along with; the history of his many relationships is replete with arguments, misunderstandings, and reconciliations. Beethoven had well-known quarrels with his one-time teachers, Joseph Haydn and Antonio Salieri, with the piano virtuoso and composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel, the German composer Carl Maria von Weber and the Italian violinist Niccolò Paganini. Conversely, he regarded Franz Schubert positively, praising the latter's compositions.
CityMusic Cleveland is an American chamber orchestra based in Cleveland, Ohio. It was founded in the summer of 2004 to give free concerts throughout the Northeast Ohio area. Composed of professional free-lance musicians from the Cleveland area and beyond, the orchestra partners with community leaders, mayors, council members, and local civic organizations, to expand the audience for cultural events. Concerts are accompanied, occasionally, by art exhibits, featuring local and regional artists.
A Journey Through Fairyland is a 1985 Japanese animated film by Sanrio, the company which animated Unico, The Sea Prince and the Fire Child and Ringing Bell, though this story is less sought out as a rarity among Sanrio cult classic collectors. It was Sanrio's final feature-length anime film until 2007. It was brought to America in 1989 through a company called Celebrity Home Entertainment. Unlike previous works, this one mainly focuses on music more than plot, prompting it to be compared with Disney's older work Fantasia. The one original piece is "My Name is Florence," which contains lyrics and is sung in the film; all other songs on the soundtrack are works of classical composition, written by Beethoven and other similarly noteworthy composers.
Johann Nepomuk Beck was a Hungarian operatic baritone. He possessed a flexible and strong voice that was particularly suited to the French and Italian operatic repertoire. Beginning in 1853, he sang for more than thirty years at the Hofoper, particularly excelling in works by Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Giuseppe Verdi. He notably portrayed the role of King Solomon in the world première of Karl Goldmark’s Die Königin von Saba in 1875.
A bass is a type of classical male singing voice and has the lowest vocal range of all voice types. According to The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, a bass is typically classified as having a vocal range extending from around the second E below middle C to the E above middle C (i.e., E2–E4). Its tessitura, or comfortable range, is normally defined by the outermost lines of the bass clef. Categories of bass voices vary according to national style and classification system.
Edmond-Alphonse Vergnet was a French operatic tenor.
Hermann Ritter was a German viola player, composer and music historian.
