Not really. Without much internet googling, "transcription may also mean rewriting a piece of music, either solo or ensemble, for another instrument or other instruments than which it was originally intended. Transcription in this sense is sometimes called arrangement, although strictly speaking transcriptions are faithful adaptations, whereas arrangements change significant aspects of the original piece."

You
are attempting to redefine the meaning of common English
vocabulary with clear intent to promote a strict literalist
concept of musical interpretation.

No.

it sounds to me like
"any manner of performing a musical work that is different
from what the compawser 'intended' or on instruments that
are however slightly different from those used during the
times when the work was composed, or in a manner that is
different from the performing practice during those times
is a 'transcription' ".

Yes.

ROTFL !!!

You are easily amused.
