Ode to Joy (0:28)

Beethoven, perhaps the greatest of the classical composers, wrote Ode to Joy towards then 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.

@Scriabinist: That's actually what Igor Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" is about, maybe you should listen to that.

I can't listen to this anymore, The Clockwork Orange has instilled disturbing images into my head because of it.
