Beethoven

Loading ...A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all
of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source.
He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig von Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backwards!
Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played in reverse.
Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backwards. The expert noticed that the symphonies
were being played in the reverse order in which they were penned, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.
By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to Beethoven’s Second Symphony, also being played backwards.
Just then, the graveyard’s caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
“Don’t you get it?” the caretaker says incredulously.
“Beethoven’s DECOMPOSING!!”
