Emil von Sauer (1862-1942), the eminent pupil of Nicolas Rubinstein and Franz Liszt, plays his own arrangement of the famous Scherzo of Mendelssohn's music for A Midsummer Night's dream, recorded ca. 1930.
It is interesting to compare this with Rachmaninoff's version which also can be found on YouTube.
