Editing Ferruccio Busoni (section)

====Editions, transcriptions and arrangements====
Apart from his work on the music of Bach, Busoni edited and transcribed works by other composers. He edited three volumes of the 34-volume Franz Liszt Foundation's edition of Liszt's works, including most of the études, and the ''[[Grandes études de Paganini]]''. Other Liszt transcriptions include his piano arrangement of Liszt's organ ''[[Fantasy and Fugue on the chorale "Ad nos, ad salutarem undam"]]'' (BV B 59) (based on a theme from [[Giacomo Meyerbeer]]'s opera ''[[Le Prophète]]'') and concert versions of two of the ''[[Hungarian Rhapsodies]]''.<ref>Beaumont (1985), p. 377.</ref>

Busoni also made keyboard transcriptions of works by Mozart, [[Franz Schubert]], [[Niels Gade]] and others in the period 1886–1891 for the publisher [[Breitkopf & Härtel]].<ref>Leichtentritt (1917), p. 72.</ref> Later, during his earliest contacts with Arnold Schoenberg in 1909, he made a 'concert interpretation' of the latter's atonal [[Drei Klavierstücke (Schoenberg)|Piano Piece, Op. 11]], No. 2 (BV B 97) (which greatly annoyed Schoenberg himself).<ref>See Beaumont (1997), pp. 314–318.</ref> Busoni's own works sometimes feature incorporated elements of other composers' music. The fourth movement of ''An die Jugend'' (1909), for instance, uses two of [[Niccolò Paganini]]'s [[24 Caprices for Solo Violin (Paganini)|Caprices for solo violin]] (numbers 11 and 15),<ref>Beaumont (1985), pp. 152–153.</ref> while the 1920 piece ''Piano Sonatina No. 6'' (''Fantasia da camera super Carmen'') is based on themes from [[Georges Bizet]]'s opera ''[[Carmen]]''.<ref>Beaumont (1985), pp. 275–277.</ref>
