The Devil's trills for Violin and Piano by G.Tartini (Master Music)
The Devil's trill Sonata for Violin and Piano by G.Tartini (Master Music) The Violin Sonata in G minor, Bg.5, more familiarly known as the Devil's Trill Sonata (Italian: Il trillo del diavolo), is a work for solo violin (with figured bass accompaniment) by Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770). It is the composer's best-known composition, notable for its technically difficult passages.[1][2] A typical performance lasts 15 minutes.
The sonata, written for violin with basso continuo (figured bass), is written in four movements:
Tartini Sonata in G min 'Didone abbandonata' for Violin (SME)
Tartini Concerto in D min with Cadenza for Violin (IMC)
Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) is best known for the Devil's Trill Sonata, but he composed many concertos and sonatas for strings, especially the violin. The 'Sonata in D Major for Solo Violin' is a technically demanding yet precise work, featuring slow movements like the Andante cantabile and the Largo section titled "TASSO," based on a Venetian gondola song. The playful Minuet reflects the post-Baroque spirit, while the Allegro assai combines intense and sentimental passages. An ambiguous movement is repeated after the Minuet, completing the structure of the sonata.
