Santa Monica College President Dr. Chui L. Tsang and SMC Music Professor Dr. Yulia Kozlova perform "Ein Ton" on the piano during SMC's Opening Day ceremony at The Broad Stage on Thursday, Aug 27, 2009. According to the 1976 publication The Guinness Book Of Music Facts And Feats, "Ein Ton" has the dubious honor of being the world's most monotonous song. Written in 1859 by the German composer Peter Cornelius (1824-74), the note B is repeated 80 times in 30 bars. In this rendition, Dr. Tsang played the B note.
