Few piano transcriptions successfully translate orchestral language into that of the piano; some took away important musical layers and some sacrifice various orchestral effects.

These piano transcriptions seek to render not only the texture but also the orchestral effects of some of the greatest works in orchestral literature. Musical texture, spacing of chords, timbral differences of instruments, balance of instruments and practicality are all taken into account in the process of transcription, and certain instrumental effects are translated into idiomatic pianistic figurations that reflect the effects better than literal renditions.

The decisions made in the process of transcription are based not only on individual sound but also on the overall structure of the piece to capture the composer’s intention as fully as possible.
