Liszt's Transcriptions

There are many things in the world which are worth to learn. Math, riding, swimming, Italian language, tango, figure skating, well, I don’t know…and a lot of other things, just I can not guess it in this minute. Oh! I should add the piano playing of course! It would be really great to find a time for all this activities. The time, this is what we never have enough. Even if choose one from that all our interests, for example piano playing, we don’t have enough time to play or listen all the greatest music ever written. So, we continually have to choose the most interesting pieces or performances for us.
I had read that the great Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter never played any transcriptions but only original piano works, because he believed that the life is not enough to play all piano repertoire and too short to waste it with music, which was transcribed. Well, I think if there are any transcriptions worth to be played, then these are the transcriptions of Franz Liszt, which are absolutely independent and completed works, real masterpieces should I admit.
