La Campanella (Great Studies of Paganini No 3)

Franz Liszt  

🎹 Enjoy the timeless beauty of "La Campanella" of "Great Studies of Paganini Nº 3" by Franz Liszt, in a delightful piano rendition, from musical score! 🎵

"La Campanella" is a revision of an earlier version from 1838, the "Études d'exécution transcendente d'après Paganini", S. 140, and is widely considered one of the most technically challenging piano pieces ever written.

Its melody comes from the final movement of Niccolò Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, where the tune was reinforced metaphorically by a "little handbell." This is illustrated by the large intervals of sixteenth notes in the right hand.
