Someone criticized these two sequences, without quoting them
properly.  A123456 (I chose that A number so that it is
easy to remember) begins:

%V A123456 -20,56,55,56,55,56,51,54,52,49,32,37,40,44,49,51,32,36,44,48,51,52,32,37,
%W A123456 44,56,55,56,55,56,51,54,52,49,32,37,40,44,49,51,32,36,44,52,51,49,32,37,
%X A123456 -20,56,55,56,55,56,51,54,52,49,32,37,40,44,49,51,32,36,44,48,51,52,32,37
%N A123456 Ludwig van Beethoven, Bagatelle No. 25, "Fuer Elise".
%C A123456 From the source file for a Midi player. This is intended to demonstrate the "Listen \
to a sequence" page.

%K A123456 sign
%O A123456 1,1
%A A123456 N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com) and Nadia Heninger, Jun 19 2006
%E A123456 At David Applegate's suggestion, 20 has been subtracted from each entry to make this\
 sound better with the default settings used by the OEIS Midi player. See A144488 for the old v\
ersion.

Let me repeat the comment line:

%C A123456 From the source file for a Midi player. This is intended to demonstrate the "Listen \
to a sequence" page.


The older version is:

%S A144488 0,76,75,76,75,76,71,74,72,69,52,57,60,64,69,71,52,56,64,68,71,72,
%T A144488 52,57,64,76,75,76,75,76,71,74,72,69,52,57,60,64,69,71,52,56,64,72,
%U A144488 71,69,52,57,0,76,75,76,75,76,71,74,72,69,52,57,60,64,69,71,52,56
%N A144488 Ludwig van Beethoven, Bagatelle No. 25, "Fuer Elise".
%C A144488 Another version of A123456. The latter version sounds better when played on a Midi player with the default settings used by the OEIS.

This is closer to the original score.
