    Time flies when you listen to music! Amazing shot.

    Yah, I like this too, and I don't even read music.

    Ahh, that fly appreciates good music.

    Nice photo! For the curious, this looks like Mozart's Piano Sonata no. 16 in C major. If you feel like hearing it, there's the first minute here (look for track 1 of disc 5), or there's a MIDI file here.

    Oh...so that's why it didn't harmonize!

    How does the fly have to be played? Must give the piece a new sound ;-) I always wonder how one can photograph a fly, they never sit still that long... Great idea!

    Lovely, just came across when looking for 'a fly on the wall....' Actually prefer that one - better a fly on a score than one on the wall! :)

    I took the same pictures many years ago. When I sow it, I thought it was mine... funny coincidence.

    Molto simpatica! Spesso succede anche a me che le mosche mi si posino sugli spartiti....

    Awesome shot! Reminds me of Mozart's Requiem, in which he purportedly smashed a fly on one of the sheets.
