Is there a transcription of Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio?

These were posted on the old PP by Timtin, I think:

Yes, someone told me he posted them, but I couldn't find them on this forum. Many thanks.

Do you also happen to have The Magic Flute also? Does anyone have this? Thank you.

Check IMSLP for 2h (and 4h) versions of the complete opera. (I was going to post a direct link to it, but am having trouble making IMSLP links work here tonight.)

There are two two-hand transcriptions there, but unfortunately they don't include the vocal part in the right hand like the Seraglio transcription.

this is the problem of many so called 'two hand' transcriptions

generally speaking, many 2H of operas are simply made using the piano part of the vocal score, i.e. without adding the melodic line (s) of the vocal parts

Before Leicester University (in it's infinite wisdom) decided to close it's
music department about 20 years ago, I took the precaution of borrowing
their 2 volumes containing Mozart's 7 greatest operas (K366, K384, K492,
K527, K588, K620 and K621) arranged for 2H, and then secretly photocopied
them on a crappy old Xerox machine at my place of work.
Some of the scans of those photocopies should be on Henselt's website,
but if any of the others are required, please let me know.

Hello All - for some years I've heard rumors about a piano solo version of Moszkowski's beautiful Op. 59 concerto, but have never seen any confirming evidence in old advertisements, etc. Does anyone know if there is (or was) such a transcription? Many thanks
