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.
Franz Liszt's "La Campanella" is renowned for its intricate textures and rapid passagework, creating the illusion that the pianist has three hands. The piece features a high, bell-like melody played with the right hand while the left hand executes rapid arpeggios and complex harmonies. This combination of technical demands gives the impression of multiple voices and enhances the overall richness of the performance. Liszt's innovative use of the piano allows for a dazzling display of virtuosity and sound.
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

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 was composed by Franz Liszt. This piece is an example of brilliant virtuosity and programmatic music, as it is inspired by the sound of a small bell ("campanella" in Italian).

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.
Some recommended left hand only piano pieces for practice and performance include "La Campanella" by Franz Liszt, "Prelude in C-sharp minor" by Sergei Rachmaninoff, and "Nocturne in D-flat major" by Frdric Chopin. These pieces are challenging and showcase the capabilities of the left hand on the piano.
