Trout for Piano

[susanwen]

I heard a little snippet of a Liszt transcription of Schubert's "Trout" for piano. I wonder if there is a CD of the whole thing, or if the 3 minutes I heard was all there is?

Susan - perhaps you're expecting to hear the entire "Trout Quintet", whereas the Lizst transcription is of the song that the quintet's main theme is based upon, "Die Forelle". Of course you may know all this already, so please accept my apologies if this sounds like a stupid answer

Thank you. I didn't know - I was hoping there was more to it, perhaps a piano transcription of the whole piece, which I love.

I have an excellent cd of Jorge Bolet playing some of Liszt's transcriptions of Schubert songs, including 'Die Forelle' - wonderful!
