Ivry Gitlis performing the Rondo finale of Paganini’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, "La Campanella".

While most people know it because of Liszt's piano transcription, this is how it was intended, written to sound like a small silver handbell. (When Liszt heard Paganini performing it in Paris, in 1832, he enjoyed it so much that he decided to transcribe it for keyboard.)
