Franz Liszt arranged numerous works by other composers for his instrument, in particular excerpts from the operas by his friend and son-in-law Richard Wagner. He turned to ''The Flying Dutchman'' twice: alongside Senta's ballad he also made a brilliant transposition of the spinning chorus (''Summ und brumm, du gutes Radchen'') from Act 2 for the piano. His ''Spinning Song'' bubbles over with virtuosic brilliance and has to this day remained one of his best-loved transcriptions. When preparing this Urtext edition, Henle Publishers was also able to consult the autograph score in Weimar and the composer's own revisions in the archives of the publisher Breitkopf & Hartel.
