arrangement

In music, the adaptation of a piece to an instrument or instruments other than those for which it was originally composed.

For example, orchestral compositions can be ‘arranged’ for the pianoforte (or vice versa). In some cases the ‘recreation’ of a work in a new instrumental medium virtually qualifies as original composition, as, for instance, in the pianoforte arrangements of Liszt and Busoni.
