Would it be jejune to mention the familiar transcription of Träumerei for solo cello? --Wetman 10:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know. I recall watching those Looney Tunes cartoons as a kid, and some of them have played Träumerei to describe the characters' sadness and lamenting. I always thought it was a sad song on violin, but I later learned that Träumerei is not a sad song, but a romantic one, and the original one was played on piano, not violin, and the song title actually means Dreaming. Yet despite its title, the song in Looney Tunes cartoons keeps getting misinterpreted as a sad song on violin. Why? --Angeldeb82 14:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it jejune, but we really need a thorough list of all well-known transcriptions. Perhaps we should also mention that it was one of Vladimir Horowitz's favourite encore pieces. JackofOz 23:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I've come to see if I can add something to this article but am puzzled to see it tagged for not having references. The article consists of a mere listing of the names of the pieces in a small collection of works for piano. What references are required? Deschreiber 14:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)deschreiber

[edit] Section on movie refs

I'm not sure it adds anything. I thought of deleting it, but left it for now. Any thoughts? DJRafe (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
