December 16th's Musical Joke:

Once a student of the music school was walking through the cemetery in Vienna and had the sense of hearing music what was coming from the tomb. When he came closer to look he discovered that music was coming from the grave of Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827. It was the Ninth Symphony which was played rearward. He immediately called his friend who arrived right on time to hear the Seventh Symphony being played rearward.

They decided to call a specialist who got there at once and had a chance to hear the Fifth Symphony which was played rearward. Even more strange was that pieces of music were played in the opposite order then they were written. But the warden of the cemetery was not surprised when he heard this, he just said "It's nothing to be shocked! He is just decomposing!"
