Posted March 22, 200817 yr comment_241446 When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard.A couple of days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetary and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried.Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognisable music coming from the grave.Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, ... yes, ... that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards".He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards too!!. Most puzzling".So the magistrate kept listening, "There's the Seventh, ... the Sixth, ... the Fifth, .....".Suddenly, the realization of what was happening dawned on him. He stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetary, "My fellow citizens, .... there's absolutely nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing".Rick.:devious::devious: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27466-classical-music/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
