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. |
