A music scholar was touring through a graveyard in Vienna when he heard music 
coming out of a grave. On inspection, he found the headstone as Ludwig van 
Beethoven, 1770-1827. The music was the Ninth Symphony being played backwards.
 He soon rang up a friend who came in time to hear the Seventh Symphony 
being played backwards. They hurried to call an expert who hurried to them 
to hear the Fifth Symphony playing backwards. All the more weird was the 
fact that symphonies were being played in the reverse order in which they 
were composed. When the caretaker of the graveyard heard this, the only 
comment he made was, "What's the wonder! He's just decomposing!"
