Franz Liszt did not compose La Campanella. Paganini originally composed it for the violin, but Franz Liszt decided to make a piano version of it (and is very different, too). La Campanella is probably a piece that was inspired by someone else, or perhaps it was just another random piece that Paganini wanted to compose. Maybe he wanted to compose one that sounded, at first, like bells, and had some very good other parts. Or maybe he wanted to put some of his feelings into that piece. Anyways, to me, La Campanella is a very exciting piece.
He was inspired by the virtuosity of performers like Niccolo Paganini, and Friederic Chopin. Liszt tried to outdo their virtuosity, creating his own distinct performing style. Paganini also inspired his piano etude "La campanella," where he used fragments of his Violin Concerto No. 2 in b minor
Franz Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (a majority say this is the hardest piece.) Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd Mvt Chopin's etudes Flight of the Bumblebee Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.1 and No.2 Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit Rachmaninoff's third piano concerto Sorabji's Opus Clavicembalisticum Feux Follets by Franz Liszt Grand Galop Chromatique by Franz Liszt Waldstein Sonata by Beethoven Bach's French/English swite (hardest pieces in the Baroque era.) Godowsky's arrangement of Chopin's 'Aeolian Harp' Chopin's Sonata's
I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I suspect if you can nail down his enormous output to one "most famous" piece, and original composition rather than adaptation of somebody else's music, it's probably the 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody in C sharp minor S244 No. 2. It's a tune that's been used quite a lot in pop culture - think of Looney Tunes cartoons, and I know it was used in Who Framed Roger Rabbit in the Dueling Piano scene (as played by Daffy and Donald Duck). After that, perhaps the Mephisto Waltz No. 1, S514. The Mazeppa Transcendental Etude S139 No. 4 (also used in his orchestral symphonic poem No. 6) I would imagine is a better known tune as well. And finally, there's S525 Totentanz, in both an orchestra/piano and solo piano version.

la campanella
He composed many pieces including: La campanella - a piano etude in the style of Niccolo Paganini Les preludes - the third of his symphonic poems Liszt's musical output was greatly influenced by his choice of career. For example, when he was a concert pianist, his works mainly involved transcriptions of symphonies and lieder.
