Transcriptions from Schule für die linke Hand[edit]

BACH:

The movement from the flute sonata is transcribed for piano LH solo, but the movement from the violin sonata is transcribed for violin and piano LH

BACH-GOUNOD:

This piece is called "Meditation" and not "Ave Maria" in Schule Bk 2

BEETHOVEN:

Op 2/3 is fifteen bars (11-25) beginning from the first appearance of the episode of the 2nd mmt. This extract is in Schule Bk 1

Op 10/3 is eleven bars (65-first beat of 76) beginning from the beginning of the coda of the 2nd mmt

Op 57 is seventeen bars (218-first beat of 235) beginning from the coda of the 1st mmt, just before the Più Allegro

BRAHMS:

"An Die Nachtigall" for voice and piano LH is in Schule Bk 2 p 47, where it is mistakenly labelled Op 4/4

CHOPIN

Etude Op 10/12 (version 1) is the left hand only of the original etude, paraphrased with additional octaves

Etude Op 10/12 (version 2) is the left hand only of the original etude, paraphrased in double notes

Etude Op 25/11 is the right hand only of the original etude, paraphrased in double notes

HAYDN:

This is unquestionably variation 1, and is so labelled in Schule Bk 2 p 46

MENDELSSOHN:

Op 67/1 is in Schule Bk 2 p 25; Op 67/3 follows it on p 28

RUBINSTEIN:

Etude on false notes (Etude auf falschen Noten) so called in Schule Bk 2 p 7

STRAUSS J:

The Mein Lebenslauf "transcription" is only four measures long and is attributed to Josef Strauss, not Johann II, in Schule Bk 2 p 44. If this is to be included on the list, there are several other very short excerpts that should be included as well. Ciubalan (talk) 02:45, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pozdrawiam, Ciubalan. Dzięki za informację. Eland Walden (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scriabin[edit]

This article overlooks the Nocturnes for the Left Hand by Alexander Scriabin that were also in Wittgenstein's library. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.243.173.51 (talk) 04:44, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, not really. A work doesn't get listed here merely because it happened to be in his repertoire. The article covers works that were either:

arranged for left hand by him (A)
commissioned by him (C)
dedicated to him or written with him in mind (D), or
premiered by him (P).

I don't think the Scriabin fits into any of those categories. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 05:46, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Posthumous Dedications[edit]

Should we include dedications to Wittgenstien made after his death? I know of at least one example: [1]. Obviously Wittgenstein could not have played this since it was written over 50 years after his death, but it is a dedication to him by the composer. Not sure how many others there would be. The same composer wrote a 2nd left hand concerto as well, but it is not dedicated to Wittgenstien. (It is, however, dedicated to Ravel, who wrote probably the most well known left-hand concerto.) 2603:9001:7500:6198:1C14:A791:7669:2C5F (talk) 17:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
