Ta-Daa is in fact the shortest, most famous musical composition in the world. And yes, it is a "composition", as short and primitive as it is, because it has a universal meaning that even little kids understand. There are other famous micro-compositions, like Beethoven's Da-da-da-Dum, or the Sad Trombone "wua-wua-wua-wuaaaa" or the Jaws theme, or the Ding-Dong doorbell. But none of them is as universal and famous and carry that amount of clear, precise meaning as Ta-Daa. And is that easy to play and learn. Btw. you actually don't need to hit all four notes like in the video; the left first two or three notes will do fine for starters. Please leave a comment if you know a micro-composition that beats Ta-Daa (in terms of fame, universalness, clear meaning and easy-to-learn).
