I did see a bumper sticker once with a portion of the last movement of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata on it.

Subject: Song Found on a License Plate
Whilst driving home from work today, I came upon a car in front of me with an interesting license plate. The plate was not what was interesting, but the border around it. At the bottom of the border was a staff with music written out.

It got me curious, so I memorized it quickly. I don't remember the exact notes, but I do know the rhythm and the Parsons Code (I could definitely tell you it starts with a high C, and then goes down to I believe a D, but I'm not entirely sure (I am sure it starts with a C, but that's not much help).

The Parsons code is * DURUUUUU (searching through the library didn't turn up results that matched the rhythm).

As for the rhythm. The C which begins the song is a half note, followed by a quarter rest, followed by another quarter note. In the next measure, it starts with three quarter notes, followed by two eigth notes. The final measure starts with another eigth note, followed by what a final sustained note.

I know it's a long shot, but I figured what the heck.

How to insert music:

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

How to post an audio recording:

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

  1. Record your audio here.
  2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
  3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

How to mark a thread as solved:

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
