>> I don't understand your comment that it's no good if it's only a piece of something and translated no less?
You didn't get my point. The piano link you sent was no good. That pop musician was a turkey on the keys (apologies to Zez Confrey). The accordion player was terrific.
As for transcriptions, I was only commenting that instrumental transcriptions of orchestral works are like translations ... something is always lost in it.
