When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple of days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise 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, unrecongizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.

The magistrate arrives, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah yes, that's Beethoven Nine 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 Seventh....the Sixth....the Fifth...."

Suddenly, the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate, he stood up and announced too the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing".
