Giuseppe Tartini, 1692 – 1770, Italian composer and violinist

Tartini's most famous work is the "Devil's Trill Sonata," a violin sonata that requires double stop trills which are difficult for any violinist. One legend claimed that Tartini had six fingers on his left hand enabling him to play these trills with ease. Another legend added Tartini was inspired to write the sonata by a dream in which the Devil appeared at the foot of his bed playing the violin.
