About This Track
Beethoven, perhaps the greatest of the classical composers, wrote Ode to Joy towards the end of his career. He was deaf and ill and had suffered much in his lifetime. Yet he was able to compose this magnificent piece by hearing it in his head. He never heard it played. It is said that at its premiere performance, Beethoven was conducting and it wasn’t until he turned to the audience at the end and saw them standing and applauding and yelling out praise and emotion, that he knew that this wonderful Ode to Joy was felt by all who heard it as he had felt it in his head when he heard it.
Truly one of the most uplifting and magnificent pieces of music ever written.

from Help:"Can you whistle the famous Ode to Joy from Beethoven's famous 9th symphony?"

Cieciu wrote:
In fact, the original name of Schiller's poem is "An die Freude", not "Ode an die Freude", and the proper title of the music piece is "9. Sinfonie in d-Moll op. 125: Alla marcia", so it does not and has never included the word "Ode" in any variation. The only version to be titled "Ode to Joy" is that awful, brutally chopped and sewn together anthem of the European Union: the one that lacks the swirling, soaring strings intertwining with pulsating brass that made the backbone of the original Alla marcia.

"Beethoven's musical setting of "Ode to Joy" is the fourth movement of the whole 9th Symphony, so Ode to joy is just the fourth movement. I highly reccomend listening to the whole symphony, makes the ode to joy part even better :)" Actually, nothing is called "Ode to joy", for it is only a translation into English ;-) Original name is "Ode an die Freude" and that's how it should be scrobbled. But of course you're right - one should listen to the whole symphony rather than to the 4th movement only. :)
