Re: Piano Transcriptions for two hands
Nice little summary of the theme from the first movement of the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 by Karel Zoubek.
Did a fair bit of this type of stuff. Link below shows a bit of work on Bach too

Re: Piano Transcriptions for two hands
Felix Günther (1886 - 1951)
Born: 1886 - Trautenau, Austria
Died: May 5, 1951 - New York City, New York, USA
The Austrian-born American pianist, arranger and conductor, Felix Günther [Guenther], studied in Vienna and Berlin and was later a professor at the Humboldt Hochschule in that city.
Felix Günther worked in the German film industry and conducted the film orchestra for several productions of the UFA (Universum-Film AG). He arranged and supervised the musical scores of specific music for films and songs. An example is Here Lies an Actor, on a text by Paul Dresser. Günther was also active as a free lancer in broadcasting, the modern medium of those days. These activities more or less stopped from 1933 on, the year the Nazis came to power. Before that he had conducted the Berliner Symphoniker when making recordings for the Polydor label (Deutsche Grammophon) and other labels like Parlophon and Homocord, already in the 1920’s, well before the electrical recording process was introduced.
As a pianist and as a conductor Felix Günther accompanied various singers like Gitta Alpar (soprano), Ria Ginster (soprano), Friedrich Brodersen (baritone), Martin Abendroth (bass), Heinrich Schlusnus (baritone). He made a recording with violinist Grete Eweler for the Homocord label. He also was the pianist in the recording of Schubert's Forellen Quintet (Trout) with the Nikolas Lambinon Artist Quartet originally known as Nicolas Lambinon Künstler-Quartett. In that recording he played a grand piano of the German piano maker Schwechten. Günther is best known as the conductor who accompanied the popular, Jewish singer Joseph Schmidt. Schmidt performed in Carnegie Hall in 1937, but returned to Germany to join his relatives. Via Holland, where he was very popular and where he gave a last recital in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Schmidt fled to Switzerland where he was interned in a refugee camp. But fate was far from kind. Joseph became ill and died there in 1942.
Felix Günther however - already in his fifties - did not hesitate to flee from Germany. He went to the USA in 1937 and found refuge - as conductor Hans Wolf, producer Marcel Prawy, and also Don Gabor and Laszlo Halasz did before World War II broke out. Günther obtained US citizenship. His son enlisted in the US Army in 1942.
Right from the day he arrived in the USA, Felix Günther was active in the New York music scene. He wrote and compiled various publications. He was co-editor of Everybody's Favorite First Position Violin Pieces, which he prepared together with violin pedagogue Theodore Pashkus. The book was published by Amsco Music Publishing Co. Inc, 1600 Broadway, New York, 1939. He compiled and edited Anthems of the United Nations: the inspiring national songs the Allies are singing on the battlefields and at home, obviously inspired by the commitment of America and the many nationalities of the troops who went to England first in order to liberate Europe - New York, Edward B. Marks Music Corp., 1942. Published by the same company is Liebestraum by Liszt, piano solo edited by Felix Guenther, 1941. From his hand is Piano Concerto Highlights for Solo Piano (Dover Publications, New York); A Treasury of the Piano Sonata from Scarlatti to Shostakovitch; a transcription for piano of The Moldau by Smetena ( Francis Day & Hunter, 1950). Another title is Heart of the Waltz edited by Flix Guenther (Heritage Music Publications, 1943). Gühnter made the arrangement for orchestra of Igor Stravinsky's famous Tango originally written for piano.
After the war had ended Felix Günther only returned to Europe when he was requested by Donald Gabor. He died on May 5, 1951 at the age of 65 in New York

Bio from TX State Historical Association
GUION, DAVID WENDEL (1892–1981). David Wendel Guion, composer and musician, son of John I. and Armour (Fentress) Guion, was born on December 15, 1892, in Ballinger, Texas. His mother was an accomplished singer and pianist, and his father was a prominent judge. Guion's parents discovered his musical ability when he was five years old; consequently he started his musical education early. He studied first in nearby San Angelo, then at the Whipple Academy in Jacksonville, Illinois, and further at Polytechnic College in Fort Worth. His parents sent him to Vienna to study with Leopold Godowsky at the Royal Conservatory of Music. After the outbreak of World War I Guion returned to the states, where he began teaching and composing.
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s he composed and performed music that reflected his Texas heritage. For a time he hosted a Western-oriented weekly radio show in New York City, for which he wrote the scripts and music. But Guion, at one time himself an accomplished cowboy, became most famous for his arrangement of the cowboy song "Home on the Range," which was performed for the first time in his New York production Prairie Echoes. It became a favorite of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the nation. In 1936 Guion was commissioned to write Cavalcade of America for the Texas Centennial celebration, and in 1950 he received a commission from the Houston Symphony Orchestra, for which he completed the suite Texas in 1952. His compositions number over 200 published works and includes orchestral suites, ballet music, piano pieces, and secular and religious songs. His music has been performed around the world.
Guion was one of the first American composers to collect and transcribe folk tunes, including Negro spirituals, into concert music. He is well-known for his arrangements of "Turkey in the Straw" and "The Arkansas Traveler," as well as "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "The Lonesome Whistler," "The Harmonica Player," "Jazz Scherzo," "Barcarolle," "The Scissors Grinder," "Valse Arabesque," and the Mother Goose Suite. He was a master at musically representing the history and heritage of early Texas with such works as "Ride, Cowboy, Ride," "The Bold Vaquero," "Lonesome Song of the Plains," "Prairie Dusk," and the "Texas Fox Trot." A collection of his waltzes, "Southern Nights," was used in the movie Grand Hotel.
Guion was a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, the Texas Composers Guild, and the Texas Teachers Association. In 1955 the National Federation of Music Clubs announced that Guion was one of America's most significant folk-music composers. Guion, a Presbyterian and a Democrat, had a teaching career spanning over sixty years. He influenced young musicians at numerous colleges and conservatories including Howard Payne University (which in 1950 awarded him an honorary doctorate in music), Fort Worth Polytechnic College, Fairmont Conservatory, Chicago Musical College, Daniel Baker College, and Southern Methodist University.
Guion died on October 17, 1981, in Dallas and was buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Ballinger. Upon his death, his large collection of furniture, glassware, music recordings, books, and memorabilia was donated to the International Festival-Institute at Round Top. The Crouch Music Library at Baylor University, the Dallas Public Library, and the Fine Arts Library at the University of Texas at Austin have portions of his archives.
