For the starter, we have Nabucco (just the overture, of course), which in 1842 managed to bring Verdi nothing less than long-awaited worldwide fame. The main course to follow consists of a movement by Paganini that reveals the influence of bel canto, linked to the aforementioned Rossini among others and its virtuosity has captivated the entire musical world.
