Classical Music Ringtones

It amuses me to be sitting on a bus and here so many different ringtones sounding.
Who would have thought that with all the choice out there many phone owners will opt for a tune that was created centuries ago.

Imagine how J.S.Bach, W.A.Mozart and Ludvig Van Beethoven, all sitting on a modern day bus would react to hear their music emanating from trvellers pockets.

It's not unusual to hear Ode to joy, turkish rondo, and Air on the G string on the same journey. Beethoven's fifth, however, does not seem to be a popular choice.

One would imagine the initial da-da-da-daa to be an excellent wake up call.

Maybe people are more interested in listening to their ringtones these days than to those that are calling them!
