After writing an article on Veracini, I noticed that the Tartini link was red. This was surprising to me, since Tartini is far better known than Veracini, at least to most other people (I don't have any Tartini in my CD collection). I know very little about Tartini, but I thought I could at least get the ball rolling by repeating here what is said in the Veracini article about Tartini. Del arte 19:10, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Eleven Fingers?

This says he had an extra finger on his left hand. Is this true? JackofOz 03:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it. I haven't seen that suggested anywhere before, and because he was a violin player and pedagogue it would have been an important thing to mention. - Rainwarrior 16:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sarabanda

His best piece by far was Sarabanda for the cello. It was a beautiful mixture of peace and war, sadness and triumph, beautiful yet scarred. This work of art will always be remembered.

This whole passage by 86.148.181.198 is problematic and may warrant deletion. However, I'm usually hesitant to delete things, so I think I will leave it for now. I wonder if a way can be found to reword this in order to salvage it.--Atavi 18:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
