After Mozart passed away, the town drunk heard some strange noises coming from the grave site.

Terrified, he ran and got the priest. He bent close to the headstone and heard some faint, unrecognizable music.

The frightened priest got the town magistrate. He listened for a minute and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Symphony No. 41 being played backward. And there's the 40th ... the 39th ... 38th ..."

Then he stood up and said, "Nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing."
