Volume 35 of the New Liszt Edition contains free arrangements made between 1842 and 1845. Transcriptions of works by Alabyev, Bulakhov, Glinka and Wielhorsky attest to the composer’s journeys in Russia. Alongside them in this volume can be found two operatic paraphrases on themes by Gaetano Donizetti, a recently discovered transcription of Ernst (Herzog zu Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha), a Soriano transcription, paraphrases on national themes and songs: Canzone Napolitana, Gaudeamus igitur, and two French songs, and the Grosse Konzertfantasie über spanische Weisen presenting one melody each of three Spanish dances: the fandango, the cachucha and the jota. The appendix gives some of the more important earlier versions. An interesting feature of the volume is the first edition of the final, considerably reworked version of the Gaudeamus paraphrase.

Series II of the New Liszt Edition contains Liszt’s free arrangements and transcriptions for the piano. Apart from one Beethoven transcription, Volume 7 contains only piano pieces based on works by Schubert. Throughout his life, Liszt respected and admired the art of Schubert, and was partial to arranging his compositions for piano, even when the Austrian composer was hardly known. This volume includes the arrangements made in 1844-46, the majority of which are piano versions of songs, and the three marches closing the volume are based on four-hand works by Schubert. It should be noted that the song Lebe wohl! was misleadingly published under Schubert’s name several times, and the composer was in actual fact not Schubert but August Heinrich von Weyrauch. Liszt could not have known this when he composed it, so this too features in the cycle 6 mélodies célebres de François Schubert.
