VIOLINIST THE DEVIL.
 How is his legend began to take shape? It is said that touching Tartini heard Francesco Maria Veracini in Venice in 1712, and was impressed by what he heard, but at the same time frustrated because he could not play like Veracini. So he went to Ancora and locked in a room to practice, Tartini and left written his own legend
. "One night in 1713, I dreamed that I had made a pact with the Devil for my soul Everything went as I wanted.. My new servant anticipated all my wishes Among other things, I gave him my violin to see if he could play How great was my astonishment at such a wonderful and as beautiful sonata, played with so much art and intelligence, as I had never thought of my daring flights of fancy I felt enraptured, transported, delighted: breath failed me and I woke up . Immediately I grabbed my violin in order to preserve, at least in part, the impression of my dream. In vain! The music I currently composed is definitely the best I've ever written, and still call "The trill Devil, "but the difference between it and that moved me is so great that would have destroyed my instrument and have said goodbye to music forever if I had to live without the enjoyment it offers me."

Probably the legend was a trick to boost career Tartini but, under an agreement or not, it is true that the violinist improved his technique significantly in a short time and it is also true that "Devil's Trill" was his best composition .
As for the violin with which supposedly it was the Devil, he was inherited by subsequent generations of musician until, at one point, he lost track and began to pass from hand to hand. It is said that the violin is still circulating somewhere in the world and if it falls into the hands of a young violinist, the devil will appear to offer you a deal that will eventually go crazy musician, is that traditionally, has always been regarded the violin as an instrument of the Devil
