It is not the "friska", so not the horowitz...

Maybe this one? It claims to be transcribed from a Horowitz RCA recording.
But it isn't in musescore notation, like you asked.

Horowitz rarely played any of these altered works the same way twice.

There's at least 5 distinct transcriptions to sheet or MIDI around since the 90s, not counting any by successive pianists who further adapted his versions. There are even more performing versions of the Carmen Variations.

At least they're fairly straightforward renderings with lots of repeated measures that can be swiftly transferred from PDF to notation format, further helped by starting with the Liszt original.

I agree with bingo - Horowitz rarely played any of these altered works twice, and there are various versions of Liszt's Rhapsody transcribed by various people (I am aware of at least 4 versions). Horowitz never wrote these down and we are left with others having to transcribed (Skinner and the Jensen versions being the best known).

There are plenty of MIDIs around, but really your attitude isn't helping...

Hi, I'm looking for the piano transcription (2H) of Cavalleria Rusticana - Easter Hymn.

I would appreciate the sheet music or any hint.

Thank you.

There are two complete 2H transcriptions of Cavalleria Rusticana on IMSLP, one (arr Mugnone) has intro lyrics in Italian, the other in German. The passage marked "Largo maestoso" circa p37 should get you there. [Edit: this was also suggested the last time someone asked for this!]

It may help to pair the printed scores up with vocal scores that you can play back e.g. https://musescore.com/user/66884440/scores/13442548
