Ninth and last

Britannica

Born 7 May 1824. Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) 9. Premiere of the Symphony. It was the last symphony that the German composer wrote, but as for intention, you can say it was the first. Beethoven wrote Symphony No. 1 in 1799 and 1800, years before he was born in his head No. 9 in 1793.

The year before, the young Beethoven settled in Vienna in 1792, with Joseph Haydn as a teacher. In fact, he traveled to the city before, at only 16 years old, with the objective of being a student of Mozart. But her mother became ill and had to return to her hometown, Bonn. When he returned to Vienna, Mozart had already died.

Shortly after his second visit to Vienna, at the age of 23, he read the Ode of Joy by the German poet Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805). In the whirlwind of the Napoleonic wars, the poem message affected the young Beethoven: the passion for peace and equality between peoples. And he thought about putting music to those words.

Despite breaking the rules, he had tremendous success at the premiere. The composer was there, but he couldn't hear the applause, because he already had his ear completely lost.

Three decades later, the idea of the young woman would materialize, when she formed a revolutionary piece that we consider classic today. Until then the symphonies lasted approximately 30 minutes, but Beethoven extended the ninth to 70 minutes. In addition, symphonies were in themselves instrumental pieces, and Beethoven added four voices and a full choir to interpret the Ode of Joy.

And even though he broke the rules, he had tremendous success at the premiere. The composer was there, but he couldn't hear the applause, because he had already lost his hearing completely. It was his last public appearance and died three years later.

The work, the anthem of the European Union since 1986, is the most widely interpreted piece of work ever and, on the occasion of the bicentenary, this first post has been strengthened this year. In those 200 years, 9. We've internalized the sound of the symphony, but not the message that Schiller's words keep.
