About

The sonata known as “Il Trillo del Diavolo” (the Devil's Sonata) is certainly one of Tartini's most significant works and maybe THE most significant, as he himself claimed that what the Devil had played in his dream was true perfection: “That night I dreamt I had made a pact with the devil and that he would fulfil my every wish. I imagined giving him my violin to see if he could improvise some fine melody but to my amazement I heard a sonata so unusual and so beautiful performed with such mastery and intelligence, on a level I had never before conceived was possible! I was so overcome that I stopped breathing and awoke gasping. Immediately I seized my violin, hoping to recall some shred of what I had just heard - but in vain. The piece I then composed is without doubt my best, the Devil's Sonata, but it falls so far short of the perfection that I heard that night.
