Giuseppe Tartini, born in the coastal town of Pirano in the Republic of Venice, was a renowned Italian composer and virtuoso violinist of the Baroque era. Born into an aristocratic family in 1692, Tartini's musical prowess and prolific output have left an indelible mark on the history of music. Throughout his career, he composed over a hundred pieces for the violin, with a majority being violin concertos. However, it is his Violin Sonata in G Minor, famously known as the "Devil's Trill," that has cemented his legacy.
