Yeah, the overlays are said to be done by the "Charm Sisters" (チャーム・シスターズ), even though they look very VJ GYO-ish. Either way, I'll leave VJ GYO for his credit on his page for the overlays for DIAVOLO until I hear otherwise.--M.B. 09:00, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
In my opinion, Paganini's Caprice no. 24 sounds more like diavolo than Liszt's arrangement, what do you guys think? Caprice for reference - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpnIrE7_1YA (up to 4:24, even has that tough ending) --Xylo (talk) 18:58, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
DIAVOLO, to me, indeed borrows more from Paganini's Caprice No. 24 than Liszt's Grandes etudes de Paganini No. 6. DIAVOLO borrows variations 3 (@ 0:30), 4 (@ 0:33), and 1 (@ 0:42) from Paganini's Caprice 24. There is also a unique variation @ 0:54 but I cannot tell for sure if it's Paganini's or Liszt's or it's a variation from another person who arranged Paganini's or an original variation. I don't know who inspired the finale (1:17). My gut feeling says it's inspired more by Liszt than Paganini but I'll leave it for others to confirm. --F5XS.0000a (talk) 00:27, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Correction about my comment about the finale. The finale is actually almost a one-to-one copy of Liszt's arrangement but it's not Grandes etudes de Paganini No. 6. Rather, it is a copy of Liszt's earlier arrangement of Paganini's entitled "Etudes d'execution transcendante d'apres Paganini no. 6". But I still stand with what I perceive about the variations. --F5XS.0000a (talk) 11:36, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
