Liszt – La Campanella (ラ・カンパネラ)

This is a solo piano piece that has big jumps in the right hand and a very beautiful melody that initially recalls the tolling of church bells. However, as we listen to La Campanella we realize that there are passages that must be played at an extremely fast speed.

 

An experienced pianist who is very dedicated to classical piano will have less difficulty playing this famous composition which is actually the third of Paganini’s “Six Great Etudes for Violin”, but is admittedly one of the most difficult songs ever written.

It’s really surprising what musicians of old were able to do with their purely acoustic instruments. It seems that at that time the musicians were at a level of genius that would be unmatched today.
