>When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days
>later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some
>strange noises 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 realisation of what was happening dawned on the magistrate;
>he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery,
>"My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven
>decomposing."
