Valentina Lisitsa is not only an incredibly talented pianist, she even takes the time to comment on her Youtube videos she posts on her channel!

"La Campanella On Steroids ? :-) This is perhaps the MOST unplayable piece of music I ever encountered! La Campanella , or Feux Follets (both are clearly hinted here) are walk in a park in comparison....

Early Liszt, from the period when he honestly thought that piano being a percussive instrument there is no point of making any attempt at legato, and one might as well enjoy frolicking in most head-spinning skips and repeated notes :-) The piece (which is based on Manuel Garcia's popular song) was titled in the first edition as "Op.5 #2". Funny, I think that was the last piece Liszt gave an opus number, anticipating how many works he is going to write :) Liszt intended this piece as a bravura finale for his recitals - but according to many reports , he failed utterly . Too difficult???? LOL" - Valentina Lisitsa
