La campanella
Étude by Franz Liszt
See also: Campanella
"La campanella" (Italian for "The little bell") is the subtitle given to the third of Franz Liszt's six Grandes études de Paganini, S.
141 (1851). It is in the key of G-sharp minor.
Background
"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.[citation needed] Its melody comes from the final movement of Niccolò Paganini's Violin Concerto No.
2 in B minor, where the tune was reinforced by a "little handbell." This is illustrated by the large intervals of sixteenth notes in the right hand.[1][2][3]
