Great addition to the playlist of any readers. The first time I heard this piece was in Tom and Jerry. But many old cartoons are filled with classical music as they were once mute images with piano making up for all the auditive images. There's so much to see and stand in awe with these different takes on such a complex piano composition as this.

You heard it for the first time in the Tom and Jerry? At least, they did a great job then so this piece became this super popular :)
This piece was like a dream for us while staying, as well La Campanella from the same composer. Just crazy technique needed to be well played...Liszt was the same for piano as Paganini for violin. Aliens 🤣
Yes, I know about that. A friend once showed me a piece by Liszt and I remember asking him if that the Paganini of piano. He laughed and they said "yes". There were a lot of annotation on that paper. The jumps between some notes and also some of the scales in there make me think the guy had some pretty big and flexible hands.
