Just went to Tartini
´s birthplace, the town of Piran (Pirano) on the Slovenian coast. Tartini´s statue is on the beautifully renovated town square (refer Wiki) where I enjoyed performances by Balkan choirs and artists. The visit made me rediscover Tartini and his music. And I am very grateful that this amazingly exc
ellent recording is available. Thanks! I would have loved, thou, to hear Shumsky play this piece in Piran. A fitting tribute to Tartini. So sad, that it shall never be...

That is so cool. What an amazing visit that must've been! I'm glad to hear that someone has an official tribute to him. I love his compositions for violin (or flute and trumpet) and orchestra. He's totally underappreciated.

What a coincidence! An what an amazing place to live :)
The evening (late June 2008) was very Mediterranean, warm and magical, lovers strolling, children playing, people sitting around sipping wine and beer, eating italian ice cream. I must confess that I did not get the names of all the performers. Had to take care of our children also, ages 8 and 3.
But VAL Folkloric Dance Group was in one of the segments. Other groups were vocal and/or instrumental. Quite professional.

I love the trill that gives it its name :)
Do you mean the ... ( 4 months ago by genmaximus110)
Do you mean the cadenza at the end? If so, that is actually Kreisler's addition to the piece. Tartini's "Devil's Trill" portion is actually less subtle, not that it's not impressive.

that story was always confusing to me but the music was so nice

Yes, I like Tartini's version better but Kreisler has made it more "Pretty" than Suductive as Tartini had made it.
I have both scores, ... ( 4 months ago by genmaximus110)
I have both scores, and I was surprised to see that Kreisler eliminates some chords in the first movement and eliminates some trills throughout the piece. With the exception of the terribly difficult cadenza that Kreisler added, Tartini's original version is actually tougher to play.
i thought the story ... ( 3 months ago by Surprisebaby)
i thought the story was a man wanted to be a master violinist and he signed a contract with the devil and the devil composed a song which was the song the rebel angels listened to when they fell from heaven.

do you think he has no good vibrato? wrong. a brilliant interpretation with minimal vibrato and no expression overdose.

nope...tartini was dreaming and he was dreaming the devil sitting on his bed and playing the violin...when he woke up he tried to write what he heard :)
Oh I thought it was ... ( 2 months ago by Alynras)
Oh I thought it was the devil appeared in his dream and challenged him and if the violinist lost - forgot his name - then his soul will belong to the devil. The deviled played and what's his name was so blown away by it that he tried to recreate it when he woke up but came up with something like this and saying that it wasn't even close to what he heard?
I'm not sure about ... ( 2 months ago by genmaximus110)
I'm not sure about all the details, but I know Tartini said that if could ever recreate in full what the devil had played, then he would break his violin across his knee for there'd be nothing else to top that work, that it would be futile to continue playing.

The stupidity of your statement wouldn't be as immense if this was an actual video instead of a soundtrack with a picture being displayed where you would actually be able to observe his bowing. :/
