Abstract
This paper examines the role of transcriptions for the piano in the dissemination of music. The paper first gives a detailed explanation for the definitions and distinctions surrounding the term "transcription." As this study of transcriptions for the piano is centred around Liszt's piano transcriptions, his ideas on the usage of the terms is also discussed. The paper looks at the socio-cultural factors of the nineteenth century that led to a proliferation of transcriptions for the piano.
The paper provides a framework that integrates the comparative study with that of Thomas Christensen's research on the public and private spaces of music reception.
Last, but not least. the paper hopes to determine whether transcriptions for the piano are innovatory or compensatory in the dissemination of music.
