Years ago [1975 ?] I remember seeing [but I could be mistaken] a boxed set of Listz transcriptions of the Beethoven piano concertos for two pianos [Probably at the time on vinly]. One piano played what Beethoven wrote, one played the orchestra [I would hate to think which part was harder]. I have never seen them since.
