Giuseppe
Tartini:
Born April 8, 1692, Pirano, Istria Venice After his mother and father
began his musical training under a priest belonging to the order
of St. Filippo Neri of Pirano, his fame truly began after he sold
his soul to the Devil in a dream. The Devil played upon his
violin with unbelievable virtuosity and what Guiseppe remembered
after awakening became his “Devil's Trill.” But he did go on; and the rest is “history.”
