  • Oh those extended pedals! They do tickle me!

  • One of the longest-living non-lame jokes, i guess? hehe

  • Jeopardy brought me here

  • ok yeah i actually lol'd

  • @bhavenmurji On the contrary, it's hilarious!

  • pahaha, this is great. Well played, Haydn. Well played.

  • In fact, I actually started laughing at the end, really lol

  • What I think people don't always get is that the "joke" comes from the silences, particularly at the end. Also, listen to Haydn enough and it's easy to see that he had a sense of humor with his music.

  • "the classical style is, in its origins, a comic one..." (Charles Rosen). I agree...

  • @0TAKE99 That is why it is called "Presto"
