Alot of our work involves research; and patience...so be patient with this
one

A Pinhead 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 van 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
backwards. Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar.  When they
return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backwards.
The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse
order in which they were composed, 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 the Second Symphony being played
backwards.  Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group.
Someone in the group asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
"Don't you get it?" the caretaker says incredulously.
