In 1993 Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President of Nokia Telephone Company, brought the whole Gran Vals to Lauri Kivinen (now Head of Corporate Affairs) and together they selected the excerpt that became "Nokia tune".^[2]
The excerpt is taken from measures (bars) 14–17 of Gran Vals, and appears again towards the end of the composition, at measure 142.
The tune, which Nokia claims as a sound trademark,^[3] was the first identifiable musical ring tone on a mobile phone.^[4]
The tune is heard worldwide an estimated 1.8 billion times per day, about 20,000 times per second^[5].
