Have you ever dreamed of meeting the devil?
Hey, it’s Anwell, and this is Soft Power Leaders, by Brantio. We help brilliant women in Biotech and Pharma gain influence.
300 years ago, legendary Italian violinist Tartini was shocked to find another violinist whose playing made him feel inferior, like a child.
In a dream, the devil visited him and played the violin with frightening emotion. In a letter, Tartini wrote that he felt ‘‘enraptured, transported, enchanted: my breath failed me.’’
After waking up, Tartini immediately grabbed his violin and tried to recapture a glimmer of his dream but failed, saying this new composition was ‘‘so inferior to what I had heard.’’
These days, his Devil’s Trill Sonata is a fan favorite, with its haunting melodies and diabolical technical feats.
How curious are you to hear it?
How curious would you be if I skipped the story and simply said there’s a haunting piece of music composed by the great Italian violinist Tartini?
How might you wrap your next brilliant idea in a story that spreads?
Thanks for listening! Now go make it happen.
