This article lists the various treatments given by Franz Liszt to the works of almost 100 other composers.
These treatments included transcriptions for other instruments (predominantly solo piano), arrangements, orchestrations, fantaisies, reminiscences, paraphrases, illustrations, variations, and editions.
Liszt also extensively treated his own works in a similar manner, but these are not tallied here—neither are his treatments of national (or "folk") melodies whose composers are unknown, nor other anonymous works.
In most cases, Liszt arranged only one or two pieces by a composer, but he delved more deeply into the works of Bach, Beethoven, Berlioz, Donizetti, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Mozart, Rossini, Schubert, Verdi, and Wagner.
The earliest-born composer whose works Liszt dealt with was Orlande de Lassus (born c. 1532). Jacques Arcadelt was born earlier (c. 1507), but Liszt's treatment was not of Arcadelt's original work, rather of a setting by Pierre-Louis Dietsch loosely based on Arcadelt. The last composer to die whose works Liszt dealt with was Géza Zichy (1849–1924).

piano | 1862 | S.461 | This piece combines Allegri's Miserere (1630s) with Mozart's Ave verum corpus. (Mozart was deeply involved in the circumstances that led to the first publication of the Miserere: He heard it in the Sistine Chapel when visiting Rome at the age of 15, and famously wrote it down from memory, although publishing the work or even writing it down was prohibited on pain of excommunication. Rather than imposing this penalty, the Pope later congratulated him on his genius). À la chapelle Sixtine was the basis of the third movement (Preghiera) of Tchaikovsky's "Mozartiana" (Orchestral Suite No. 4), but he used only the Ave verum corpus component. |

The title Feuille morte is probably Liszt's own. |

Suite en forme de valse (piano 4-hands; 1882) | Valse de concert d'après la "Suite en forme de valse" | piano | pub. 1889 | S.430 | János Végh von Vereb (1845–1918) was a close friend of Liszt. He studied with Károly Thern and Mihály Mosonyi but decided to pursue a judicial career while continuing his involvement in music as an amateur. With Liszt's approval he transcribed for 2 pianos 8‑hands several of Liszt's works, such as the Dante Symphony, and the Grand Galop Chromatique.[51] In 1879 Liszt dedicated to Végh his symphonic poem Hunnenschlacht and his transcription for piano 4-hands of that work as well as Hamlet, Die Ideale, and Zwei Episoden aus Lenaus Faust. In 1881 Végh became vice-president of the Budapest Academy of Music, Liszt being the president.[52][53] |

Opera Tristan und Isolde (1859):
|
Isoldens Liebestod | 1867 | S.447 | In his concert version of the Prelude (Overture) and Isolde's Act 3 final aria "Mild und leise", first performed in 1862 (several years before the premiere of the opera in 1865), Wagner called the Prelude the Liebestod (Love-death) while Isolde's final aria "Mild und leise" he called the Verklärung (Transfiguration). Liszt named his transcription of "Mild und leise" Isoldes Liebestod; he prefaced his score with a four-bar motto from the Love Duet from Act II, which in the opera is sung to the words "sehnend verlangter Liebestod". Liszt's transcription became well known throughout Europe well before Wagner's opera reached most places, and the final scene is now always called by the name Liszt gave it, Liebestod.[56] | |

However, as it conforms to no single passage in that scene, it is thus a paraphrase, not strictly a transcription.[56] | |
