Is this true???
I thought Liszt only did three (or four) of them.  He worked on and
off on the 9th for years, and was never really satisfied.
My memory of this is a bit fuzzy.
There are piano transcriptions of the 9 symphonies by others.
If anyone knows of Liszt transcriptions I would love to hear about them,
as well as info about recordings and/or scores.
	I have the recording Gordon refers to and it is very good;
especially the Pastoral.
