Liszt’s circle of friends and musical acquaintances was both wide and varied. In typically generous fashion he often promoted their music through transcriptions, arrangements and additions. This collection features arrangements of dance music by illustrious contemporaries such as Weber and Smetana, additions to a work by Liszt’s Weimar assistant Joachim Raff, and a scintillating solo transcription of the Tanzmomente by the influential Viennese composer/conductor Johann von Herbeck, amongst others.
