    A certain piece was written originally for solo violin, but it is now very famous in an arrangement for violin and piano which differ very significantly from the original baroque, and it's a rather romantic work. The arranger never recorded the piece, but almost every violinist did it. The piece is know by a name. Which is the piece, who is the composer and who is the arranger?

    Question #93362. Asked by Cem1942. (Mar 10 08 4:29 AM)

    		The piece is Giuseppe Tartini's "Devil's Trill Sonata".

    Sadly, Kreisler (arranger) did not record the "Devil's Trill" sonata. Never the less his edition has the most brilliant cadenza following the guide lines set forth by F David. If Kreisler played his own edition and played his own cadenza then we can only speculate on what we and the gramophone have missed. But we must not over look the fact that he may have recorded the work and it remains un-issued. As was the case with Bruch Violin Concerto and his own quartet, discovered some years ago.
