There is no reason to suppose the arranger noted here, F. J. Zeisberg, heard cylinders that Alice C. Fletcher recorded in the field, but rather more likely that he consulted John C. Fillmore's published piano arrangements of Fletcher's transcriptions. It would be more accurate to say they are re-arrangements of what are themselves arrangements of transcriptions.
