But: this was not the version, which thick men on the soccer field used to play with their brass instruments. Our national anthem is the only (or one of a handfull?), that has been composed by a professional musician: Joseph Haydn had composed it as the "Kaiserquartett". Today it's the German anthem. I still prefer the traditional Haydn-sound, produced by strings. But on youtube I found another exciting version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTVa6cUCm1k&feature=related.
