It's unclear whether this is in fact a clever viral campaign by Nokia.

The original ringtone was apparently taken from a piece by Tarrega, of Recuerdos fame.

Nice post rubbers - well done that violinist, I say - but watch out rubbers - the name is Tárrega and there are people on here who'll give you a hard time for not being acute enough to know the difference

Not as bad as the Faure I posted on the AA thread last week, which I wasn't picked up on. Never could do the accents

Ams it's my life's work.

There's a horrible version of Recuerdos for violin which RC has been known to play - sounds like an attack of hiccups

Not a very grave offence this time though.

I'm also surprised I haven't been picked up on the fact that it's a violist rather than a violinist

I doubt it very much; in this fast-paced world where youngsters supposedly have the attention span of a goldfish,
would Nokia really have expected them to endure 45 seconds of classical solo violin playing before getting to the punchline? They would also have opted for a more 'photogenic' soloist ...take a look at Nokia's ads.
