PATTISON'S SALON ORCHESTRA, directed by NORRIS STANLEY
Relayed from the Cafe Restaurant, Corporation
Street
TARTINI, that great eighteenth - century violinist, had a somewhat'disturbed youth, for he was driven from his native Padua on account of a secret marriage. He took refuge at a monastery at Assisi, worked hard at fiddling, and when he could safely return to Padua, built up a noted school of violin playing.
He wrote some eighteen Concertos and fifty or sixty Violin Sonatas. Perhaps the most famous of these last is the ' Devil's Trill ’ Sonata, said to have been composed after a dream in which the Devil, having entered into a compact to serve the composer, played him a marvellous solo on the Violin-a solo which Tartmi, on waking, tried in vain to recall. The ' Devil s
Trill ' Sonata embodies some of his impressions of the strange visitation-so the tale runs.
