Someone, long ago, looked at a perfectly respectable length of cotton and decided it needed devils with violins. Our pattern is traced from that sample, then cleaned up and rescaled for a boxer brief. It is a tracing, not a facsimile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe devil has been a fiddler for centuries. In 1713, by his own account, the violinist Giuseppe Tartini dreamed he had made a pact with the Devil, who became his servant. One night he handed the Devil his violin, and what came back was a sonata finer than anything he had ever heard or imagined. He woke, seized his violin, and tried in vain to catch it. He called what he wrote the Devil’s Sonata, and said it fell so far short of the dream that he would have broken his violin if he could have lived without music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1828 Niccolò Paganini played Vienna: fourteen concerts between March and July. Shops sold gloves, hats and pastries à la Paganini, and the Emperor named him imperial chamber virtuoso. Rumors that he had dealings with the Devil followed him all his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn every telling, the devil plays beautifully.
