While I was preparing my first performance of Wagner's "Liebestod" in Liszt's transcription for piano, I studied various other transcriptions. Using the painter Goya's etchings of the works of Velázquez as a metaphor, I explore how the different transcriptions say as much about the transcribers as it does about the original.
