Among his innovations were \"Liszt octaves,\" played with alternating hands to give the illusion of double octaves at breathtaking speeds. These new techniques, together with the advancing technology of louder and larger pianos (and not insignificantly, his enormous and flexible hands), helped Liszt to bring orchestral textures to life on the piano. At the same time, an important aspect of Liszt's oeuvre was the transcription and arrangement of the works of other composers for the piano, including Beethoven's string quartets, songs and chamber music by Schubert, and many operatic selections. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eIn an era before recording technology, these transcriptions and arrangements can be seen as crucial to the dissemination and reception history of the relevant works.
