Music that makes you laugh but is not intended to

[Barbirollians]

Leaving aside scatological jokes in Mozart's horn concertos I wonder if there are any works that make you laugh but perhaps the composer did not intend it .

The arrival of The Clangers in the second movement of Ligeti's Violin Concerto is one for me .

Leaving aside Elgar (for now )

are both works of staggering genius IMV

Most unfortunately, the arrival of the day of judgement in Mahler 2 is just too OTT for me to keep an entirely straight face. Ditto the march that follows.

[Ferretfancy]

Ansermet's performance of Liszt's Hunnenschlacht always made me chuckle. It's the wonderfully banal march tune punctuated by noisy cymbal clashes which seem richly comic, but not to be heard too often!

The absurdly inflated grandiosity of the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony finale.

I do find Benjamin Britten's music to be full of unintentional funny passages: the hunting horn and cuckoo calls in the Spring Symphony coming most instantly to mind. And of course Peter Pears' voice was an open invitation, eagerly seized upon in the famous Dudley Moore Little Miss Muffett sketch from Beyond the Fringe.

The absurdly inflated grandiosity of the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony finale.

I agree; there is one brief section in particular which seems to come straight from a 'Carry On' film soundtrack (although I accept that the influence may have travelled the other way).

The finale of Borodin's 'Polovtsian Dances', especially in the version with chorus sounds rather too close to a pantomime finale for me to keep a straight face.

The moment when Siegfried lifts the sleeping Brunnhilde's breastplate and exclaims "Das ist kein mann!", a very rare moment of light relief in The Ring. I'm sure Wagner meant it to raise a laugh.
