Originally, everyone present just listened to what Shen Wuhuan said as a story.

But after listening to the story, some people feel that there seems to be other information hidden in the story.

"Professor Shen's skills are indeed a little too superb."

"That's not a human skill at all."

"Is there really a devil?"

But everyone knows that there is no devil in the world, and it is only a sign of cowardice to push the strength of others to unknown beings.

But it has to be said that human beings are cowardly beings.

Shen Wuhuan did not give an answer to the story that just happened, but began to talk about the next story.

"Since then, my skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and it only takes a fraction of the time of ordinary people to achieve several times their efforts, and my musical life has been at its peak."

"However, it wasn't the end of it all until I heard it a second time."

"It was when I was still in Hangzhou, and everyone knew that I had led a folk orchestra in Hangzhou, and their strength was improving rapidly, but they still needed to expand new blood, so I published a job advertisement in the newspaper with the manager at the time, which was about the size of a tofu block."

"At that time, I was at the peak, the shadow of the tree of human life, many people came here, our recruitment work was very smooth, many ordinary people who were once quite skilled took up the instrument again, joined us, and for a time the whole orchestra went quite smoothly."

Huang Yun listened to it as a party with a lot of feelings.

He was also one of the examiners in charge of the interview at that time, and the chief who is now staying in Hangzhou was also discovered by him at that time.

"One day, we came to the time of the daily interview, I went to the preparation room with a few members of the orchestra, the preparation room was not big, there were some old instruments, not regular, and there was a lot of dust, but at that time we were in a terrible situation, there was not so much time for us to rest and recuperate these old waste, but these things were also aesthetically pleasing, after all, we were going to interview in the preparation room, and outsiders came to see it, which was somewhat embarrassing, so I talked to the manager about it."

"I don't remember how long we talked, I don't remember what we talked about, I just remember that when I came back to my senses, it was empty, and I didn't think about where the others had gone, because the man didn't give him the time, and he suddenly pushed the door in and asked me, 'Is this an interview?' , the other party was carrying a violin, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I had to start the interview alone. ”

So, he started playing the violin."

This is where the story seems to end.

Huang Yun fell into deep thought.

During the interview, he was definitely present as the chief, and he was never absent in his memory.

So it's still a story, right?

Without waiting for him to think about it carefully, Shen Wuhuan said, "Next, I will give you this song "The Devil's Trill". ”

"The Devil's Trill" is a rather strange tune.

Many people associate this piece with the incomparable Paganini, but it is often forgotten or difficult to remember its real creator, the famous Italian musician and violinist Giuseppe Tartini.

The reason people mistake this piece for "The Devil's Trill" comes from a mistranslation.

The German DG publishing house published a CD of Paganini's violin anthology, the original name of this CD was called "Diabolus in Musica", which literally translates to "The Devil in Music", Paganini's image at that time was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even many people really believed in his devil's identity, and the publisher chose such a CD name to understand.

But the mistake is that the translator translated it as "the devil's trill."

In fact, this CD has nothing to do with vibrato, and the translator's original intention was to use the unique technique of "vibrato" to describe the difficulty of the song, but he did not expect that this would cause many people to misunderstand.

Although Tatini himself is legendary, he has not received much attention from the music industry, and is far less famous than his descendant "Paganini".

Born on April 8, 1692 and died on February 26, 1770, Tatini was not yet born before Paganini, but he was already revolutionizing violin technique.

Like Paganini, he was also known for his monstrous violin skills.

At that time, Tatini improved the bow of the violin, getting rid of the bow holding method of the late Baroque period, and his bow movement method was more scientific and mature, and it has been used to this day as the basic technique of the violin.

In addition to this, he left behind about 150 violin concertos and as many as 100 violin sonatas.

There is also a music theory work "Harmony Theory", which is a classic that has been widely circulated in later generations.

But such a figure who has left so many great achievements in the history of music has not received the respect he deserves.

This may be because of his song "The Devil's Trill".

Legend has it that Tatini often dreamed of learning the most amazing violin skills in the world, so he once sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his skills, and the devil played him a beautiful tune.

After waking up from the dream, Tatini memorized this piece from memory, which is now known as this piece, which is called "The Devil's Trill" because of the many beautiful and difficult trills in the song.

There is also a theory that Tatini was recruiting violinists for the band in a dream, and the devil came to apply and asked for the reward of his soul, and Tatini wanted to test him, so he played a piece for Tatini, and this piece was "The Devil's Trill".

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it adds a lot of legend to this song, and it also explains the origin of the song's name very interestingly.

And the two stories that Shen Wuhuan told before came from this.

After all, it's a pity that this song doesn't have the legend corresponding to it.

The most important thing is that Shen Wuhuan doesn't think that these two stories are just legends.

In the book "Voyage d'un François en Italie" by the French astronomer Jérôme de la Lande, there is a quote from Tatini himself.

"One night in 1713, I dreamed that I had made a pact with the devil with my soul. Everything went just as I had hoped: my new servant could clearly perceive and carry out my every desire. Also, I handed him my violin to see if he could play. Then I heard a piece of music that struck me beyond words, so artistic, so full of amazing wisdom that even my most daring fantasies had never been inspired like it. I was so ecstatic, so excited, so intoxicated that I heard suffocation—and I woke up. ”
