The third piece from Liszt's Grandes Études de Paganini presents an especially formidable technical challenge to performers. Based on the finale movement of Paganini's Violin Concerto in B minor, La campanella was dedicated to Clara Schumann. Liszt first had the opportunity to witness the famous violin virtuoso's playing at a concert in Paris in 1832, and it inspired the young Liszt to obsessively pursue his own music through practice and intensive study of literature and arts. As a result, Liszt composed his six transcendent études that made up the piano cycle Études d'exécution transcendante d'aprés Paganini for a time, Liszt himself was the only one capable ofperforming them. In addition to the final version of the third étude, the present edition includes its earlier version in the appendix.This publication contains not only musical scores of excellent quality, but also a detailed foreword in English and German as well as critical notes in English.

Liszt composed three piano works on Paganini's bell theme. The best known of these works is La Campanella (1851). The Clochette fantasia, that is the Grande Fantaisie de bravoure sur la Clochette de Paganini (1831-1834) as well as the early version of the F sharp minor study, the Campanella (1838) in A flat minor are much less played. Liszt composed a fourth piano work on the campanelle theme. Similar to the preceding it is a series of variations. The second theme is also taken from Paganini: it is the theme of a variation series known with the title The Carnival in Venice.Der hier vorgelegten Edition liegt das Autograph Liszts zugrunde, das im Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv, Weimar unter der Signatur Ms I 44 aufbewahrt wird. Das Werk hat keine Inschrift. Unter dem letzten Takt (498) steht das autographe Datum Lisbonne / 2 Février ohne Jahreszahl. Sie soll aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach 1845 sein, da sich Liszt nur ein einziges Mal, nämlich in diesem Jahr Portugal aufhielt.
