alt Hacker NewsI love the 1812 Overture, in part, because it has artillery.
"Oh, yes-- I play in the orchestra. I am in the auxiliary percussion and artillery sections."

Everyone loves it for being a song with cannons in it. Must be a lame way to be remembered though. People like Beethoven and Mozart for, you know, their actual music. But Tchaikovsky? CANNONS!
Haha, symphonies with accompanying armaments really make you appreciate where you’re going to be seated as an audience member.
