The Beethoven violin concerto has a very  surprising ending.
In the last few minutes of the music, several times it appears that it
is coming to a gotcha ending.  Yet, it does not end. At the end of the 
piece, you hear the first 5 notes from the beginning of the third movement,
leading the listener to think that here we start all over again.
The 5 notes are then  followed with two short notes, and that is the end
of the concerto.  It is quiet clear that Beethoven was trying to have
fun with the listeners.
