[[Giuseppe Tartini]] was inspired to write his most famous work, the [[Violin Sonata in G minor (Tartini)|Violin Sonata in G minor]], also known as "The Devil's Trill", after dreaming of the Devil playing the violin. Tartini claimed that the sonata was a lesser imitation of what the Devil had played in his dream.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |title=The Devil's Trill |encyclopedia=[[Encyclopedia Britannica]] |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Devils-Trill |access-date=January 3, 2018}}</ref> [[Niccolò Paganini]] was believed to have derived his musical talent from a deal with the Devil.{{sfn|Spignesi|2003|page=281}} [[Charles Gounod]]'s ''[[Faust (opera)|Faust]]'' features a narrative that involves Satan.<ref name="crack">{{cite magazine |last=Watson |first=Tom |title=The Devil's Chord: A History of Satanism in Popular Music |url=https://crackmagazine.net/article/long-reads/satan-music/ |access-date=2018-01-01 |magazine=[[Crack Magazine]] |language=en}}</ref>
