The Devil Made Me Do It
Legend says that this composer dreamed the Devil appeared to him and played the violin with such virtuosity that the composer felt his breath taken away. When the composer awoke he desperately tried to recapture what he had heard in the dream. He always felt that it came nowhere close to capturing the demonic music he had heard in his vision.
