Can anyone tell me any myths legend or tales about musical instruments that play themselves?

Answer 1

Yes! One of the lesser-starred cartoon versions of the (Anastasia) saga has it that some members of the Imperial Family were transformed into Musical Instruments at the time of the massacre. (I believe this is the Sony variant which is quite different than the Ryan-Cusack film. In this one there is a good subplot where Anastasia is chased by two suitors, one a KGB counterspy out to turn her in to the Red authorities and the other her true love, a former White Army man, maybe ex Palace security. the two agents look very much alike, this is more realistic than Rasputin"s black magic,bat attacks on the Trans-Siberian line, etc. anyhow Stacy becomes aware of the musical angle while hiding out in a Baggage car. Other than that there have been spiritual stunts involving automatic musical playing but this can readily be faked by sound effects off=screen audio, etc. The haunted musical instruments are an unusual angle to the Anastasia saga peculiar to this one version. that"s all I have heard or know of.

One famous myth is about the Pied Piper of Hamelin, who played a magical pipe that lured rats out of the town and later led the children away when the townspeople failed to pay him. Another legend is about the Devil's Trill Sonata, where violinist Tartini supposedly sold his soul to the devil for the ability to play the trill in this piece, leading to stories of the violin playing itself at times. Both stories speak to the mysterious and enchanting power of music.
