In the 4th part of a 5 part series we examine the deals made with the devil by artists. Christoph Haizmann commonly depicted his dealings with the devil through his art. He even underwent exorcisms in order to win back the contracts that he signed with the devil. Guiseppe Tartini made a deal with the devil in order to compose one of the most beautiful violin sonatas called the "Devil's Trill". Niccolò Paganini was said to have been aided by the devil in order to be the most accomplished violinists to ever play. Philippe Musard was far from conventionally attractive, but despite his looks, became the first celebrity composer, his music would take audiences and cause them to lose control of themselves as if the devil was in the room.
