    Default Music in the ears

    A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. He discovers it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads " Ludwig Beethoven 1770-1872 , then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony, and is being played backwards.
    Puzzled he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to come back with him.
    When they do, the music has changed, it's the seventh symphony, also being played backwards, curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar
    When they return the next day with the expert, the Fifth symphony is playing, again being played backwards, the expert then notices that the music is being played in the revers order from how they had been composed.
    By the next day a throng had gathered around the grave listening to the Second Symphony being played backwards. Jjust then the graveyards caretaker ambles up. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation.
    "Don't you get it?" the caretaker says, "He's decomposing."

    1872 Beethoven Last movement.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger and his friends are acting in a short film about classical pianists and musicians. One of friends says "I'll play Beethoven", another says "I'll be Mozart." In the end, Arnold says
    I'll be Bach.

    Years ago there was a sign in our local music shop's window:

    GONE CHOPIN, BACH IN A MINUET.

    Murphy, a furniture dealer from Dublin, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to go to Paris to see what he could find.

    After arriving in Paris , he visited with some manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back home. To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine.



    As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was the only vacant seat in the house.



    Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table, she asked him something in French (which Murphy could not understand), so he motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down.



    He tried to speak to her in English, but she did not speak his language. After a couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass
    and showed it to her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of wine for her.

    After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group playing romantic music.

    They ordered dinner, after which he took another napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing. She nodded, and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed and the band was packing up.



    Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster bed.



    To this day, Murphy has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business!

    #: Keep them coming Des, always a laugh from you.

    There are so many jokes about this composer. I could make you a Liszt.
