send this into the Nokia phone competition!!!! Nokia is giving away ten thousand dollars to the who writes the best one

[smalin]

@MrMaestro14231  You're joking, right?

[SVAFnemesis]

Imagine Bach using a Nokia to make a phone call

[smalin]

@SVAFnemesis Okay, I've done that .. and ... ?

[xXKrazyLepreconXx]

...I'm on to you, you have cleverly tricked people into clicking on an ad...

[smalin]

@xXKrazyLepreconXx That's pretty funny ... not my intent ... but I can see that it might work out that way ...

[nicholascullum]

Plonkers. The Nokia ring tone was lifted from a piece of classical guitar music!

[zeryx28]

@MrMaestro14231 Yep, I just submitted a ring-tone version a few weeks back. Sadly, it's pretty much a popularity contest.

[MrMaestro14231]

@smalin yeah I guess they'd want to get rid of the old one. And they'd want something short and one instrument playing. . . Still pretty cool though

[specforauc]

is this a 16xx nokia tunes version?

[ComposerJMA]

Imo, too short exposition to be fugalized (?), 3 bars Im assuming and then modulation. But eiuther way, I like it.
