Can't be the Devil's music thread without the Devil's Trill sonata. Tartini dreamed he sold his soul to the devil. At one point he gave his violin to the devil to play, and he was forever haunted for the rest of his life by the demon's beautiful playing which he tried to recapture when he woke but couldn't. quote:One night, in the year 1713 I dreamed I had made a pact with the devil for my soul. Everything went as I wished: my new servant anticipated my every desire. Among other things, I gave him my violin to see if he could play. How great was my astonishment on hearing a sonata so wonderful and so beautiful, played with such great art and intelligence, as I had never even conceived in my boldest flights of fantasy. I felt enraptured, transported, enchanted: my breath failed me, and I awoke. I immediately grasped my violin in order to retain, in part at least, the impression of my dream. In vain! The music which I at this time composed is indeed the best that I ever wrote, and I still call it the "Devil's Trill", but the difference between it and that which so moved me is so great that I would have destroyed my instrument and have said farewell to music forever if it had been possible for me to live without the enjoyment it affords me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkX8YyA4Wp4

Also Danse Macabre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpms9Ob56U8 Using percussion instead of the violin is a really neat arrangement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNMzBnuBC6Y
