In addition to selections by Johann Strauss and John Philip Sousa, Soprani premiered his arrangements of three Viennese Dances by Fritz Kreisler for accordion and orchestra and also performed the popular "Carnival of Venice" by Paganini, a number that for many years captured the hearts of millions of audiences who heard him play it.
