Liszt's "The Bell" "The Bell" was composed in 1834. It is a piano solo piece in G-sharp minor, slightly allegro, in 6/8 time. This is Liszt's solo piano piece adapted from the final movement (i.e. the third movement, usually called "Rondo imitating the bells", moderate Allegro, B minor) of Paganini's violin piece "Violin Concerto No. 2" . The bells depicted through the piano in this adaptation are more vivid and realistic than Paganini's original music (violin), especially the musical beauty of the piano's high voice, which is unparalleled by any instrument. After a short prelude to the music, the left and right hands intertwined to play the bells and the main melody; the variations in the middle of the music contain extremely difficult and complex techniques, vividly showing the effect of the bells.
