Transcriptions: Orchestrations and Reductions

My Program: Part One:

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition (Orchestrated by Maurice Ravel)

Wagner: Tannhauser Overture (Transcribed for Piano by Franz Liszt)

Intermission

Part Two:

Holst: The Planets
(Original version for 2 Pianos)

The case for my program: In this program, you have a piece taken from solo piano to orchestra (And considerably broadened), another piece taken from orchestra to piano (And possibly revealing even more in its piano version than the orchestral), and a piece in its rarely-heard original 2-piano arrangement that holds its own just as much as the transcribed version.
