There are ONLY two composers in all of music history where everyone knows their songs!
Both of them are played on ice cream trucks.
One is Beethoven:
1.) fur Elise (an ice cream truck song)
2.) the opening notes to the first movement of his 5th symphony
The other is a black dude… Scott Joplin
1.) the entertainer
Also played on ice cream trucks!
It’s a huge compliment to a composer to be known by tune, by everyone.
No other classical composers can claim this.
