I can think of:

Stravinsky
Lourie
Wyschnegradsky
Fyodorov
Obukhov
Sabaneyev
Akimenko
N. Tcherepnin
Glazunov (who wrote no piano music during his stay there)
Lyapunov (ditto)

But I'm sure there were more, and that someone here knows who they are!

Many thanks for your thoughts.
Off the top of my head.....

Prokofiev
Koussevitzky
Artsybushev
Slominsky
Grechaninov
Medtner
Gunst
Kovalyov
Magalov [short time]
Pohl
Vinkler
Yevsevsky
Mouraviev

I have never seen nor heard of any piano solo arrangemet of the Op 6 Suite [strange really since so much else by Shostakovich has been transcribed / arranged by other composers].

Why not check out the DSCH catalogue (Volume 105), if you like Shostakovich
string quartets in 2H? (1, 2, 3, 4 & 13). Also, some symphonies (8,10,11,12 & 15)
are in this form. All the transcriptions were by the composer.
