Not a bad symphony.

If he'd applied himself probably could have done better.

I love the 7th. Especially the 2nd Movement.

But the 8th is beautiful too.

Thank You for posting.

The 9th Ode to Joy is my favorite.

That’s a great piece of music, and I only know so much Beethoven. My favorite compositions by him has to be
The Emperor Concerto, No.5. It was composed in praise of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

It’s my favorite but I almost never play it. Why?
Because a Concerto like this requires a good sound system, and is required to be played LOUDLY.
That is the only way you will feel all the power, all of that angry joy.
I would be evicted from my apartment if I played it at ‘proper volume’.

Ehh, needs some vocals. Why don't you work on that, Ludwig.

Further, written while deaf.

People with hearing cant write a symphony.

I prefer the seventh to the eighth.

But the ninth is in a league of its own.

They're all good, all ten of them.

How's that?

Thanks for the opportunity to listen to this.  And revisit the lion of symphonic composers.

Five years ago you commented on this FR vanity.

The Source of Beethoven's Musical Genius: His Greater Dignity as a Man

It's on what America's greatest pundit, H. L. Mencken, said about Beethoven.nbsp; His essay fits his subject.nbsp; Cheers.
