Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, specifically the Ode to Joy, is the only piece of music that literally brings me to tears whenever I hear it. When I am in need of a cathartic cry, I put on a CD of that piece and before it is finished, I am brought to tears by several passages. It never fails, and to me, it is the single most beautiful piece of music ever written.

I have to be up to the 9th. It takes an emotional toll on me. Need to be in the right state of mind and have no distractions when plan on listening to it - like I have to give so much of myself to it. But man is it worth it! Excess is best! Insanity is good! (Sorry for the crazy end to my first paragraph. End of last movement of the 9th sends me into manic frenzy.)

"Beethoven wasnt so great!!" "What do you mean Beethoven wasnt so great?!!" "He never had his picture on a bubble gum card did he?" "How can you say someone is great who never had his picture on a bubble gum card!!" "GOOD GRIEF!!" That classic argument between Lucy and Schroeder by the great Charles Schulz, encapsulates the elite stature of Beethoven as a composer. Bubble gum card or not, Beethoven was a composer of devastating power and passion. His semi contemporary Mozart rendered happy, bubbling music mixed with occasionally sorrowful passages. Beethoven's pride and joy were passionate, brooding tunes. Which is what makes his glorious "Ode to Joy," all the more stunning a creation. Because it was such a contrast to his standard music. If there is a true Mt. Rushmore of classical composers, Beethoven's face is one on the mountain. Perhaps, king of the mountain.

Beethoven is definitely my favorite composer due to the raw honesty of his music. When I hear a piece of music, especially orchestral, I can detect honesty of expression, and truth. If it is lacking, when the composer is vying for fame, breaking new ground, shock, or any other ego-oriented pursuits, I can detect them, and consequently the music turns me off. This is true increasingly the newer the compositions. I, however, subscribe to the symphony and sit listening hoping to catch, occasionally, pure and emotionally true themes which totally delight me, as most of the compositions of beethoven do.

But then I listen to the 5th, the 3rd, the 9th, the Appassionata, the Missa Solemnis, and I'm forever grateful for his marvelous genius. I highly recommend the KZbin video titled "Beethoven's Ninth: Symphony For The World." I've made sure that my children and grandchildren have all grown up loving classical music, and the man who changed it forever.

A great video of the, undoubtedly, greatest composer who has walked this earth. Great you mentioned the Choral Fantasy and singled out the Appassionata, and gave Eroica and Solemnis the shout-outs they deserve 🙌🏼 Merits a few corrections though (what stood out to my ears): * Beethoven did not write any Cello Concerto, sonatas he did though * There was only one Kreutzer Sonata * Egmont, he wrote a whole piece of Incidental music, not only an Overture Fun fact: * Leonore had three re-writes * He wrote 32 piano sonatas (together with Bach considered the pinnacle of the piano repertoar)

The same goes for Beethove to Mozart or Hayden to Mozart. Hayden considered Mozart to be the finest musician known to him including those that lived in earlier time (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Monteverdi, Palestina etc, etc).......apples to apples

You’re in no position to be speaking in absolutes like that 🤡 If you asked me who my favorite composer was when I was between the ages of 16-21ish-I’d have said Beethoven. But the reality is that these different composers have qualities about them that can be found nowhere else. Mozart has a quality Beethoven never touched. If I had to limit that quality to a word, it would be “Divine”. Beethoven was more of a warrior of composition. It didn’t come as effortlessly to him-and he composed *MUCH* less work than some of his predecessors. Mozart is more of a “Krishna” of composition: Playful, sweet, seemingly effortless, heals the heart and mind. Beethoven is more of a “Gautuma Siddhartha”: Tempestuous, over-achieving but never satisfied, always intense, continuously *seeking* the divine but never quite touching it. Beethoven was a seeker-Mozart was the quality Beethoven was “seeking”. Mozart was a seeker. That quality just came from him like the fragrance of a flower. And even though I now say Mozart is my favorite-there would be no Mozart or Beethoven without Bach. Don’t speak in goofy absolutes like that.

Overall, a very respectable and accurate summary of the great composer’s life and most important works. Well done. Thank you for not using his music in the “background.” I have no doubt that Beethoven would not have approved of this, as he never intended his music to be used as “window dressing.” In fact, this represents his overall achievement to elevate the Art of Music to a new level of artistic respect in the popular discourse. Sadly, this is lost on nearly all current “content creators,” who use music for cheap background “effect,” which means it’s not intended to be listened to with full attention. Allow me to correct a few “details” that were missed. Surely you meant to refer to ‘cello “sonatas,” not “concertos.” And, the fourth note of the iconic opening motive of the 5th Symphony is “E-flat,” not “E”!

@@Tolstoy111 It's the use of poetic license to tie Mozart to Beethoven - an eventual passing of the torch if you will.

Trillions of years from now, when the last star has flickered out and the entire cosmos has gone silent and black, drifting for ever out there somewhere in the infinite void will be a tiny speck from a long-gone world. Attached is a small golden disc, and on it, though no one will be left to hear, for all of eternity, he will be there. At the end of all things. Immortal. Beloved. Beethoven.

Fur Elise, the Moonlight Sonata, and the minuet in G are my favorites of his. It is amazing that he could compose music while deaf.

His deafness is most likely a combination of being beaten as a child and the high amount of Lead sugar in cheap wine at the time

I've been a lifelong lover of all things Beethoven and while I love and appreciate the others, Ludwig Van is the man. I had a music teacher tell me once...." Mozart is the sound of God laughing - Beethoven is the sound of God thinking" Never forgot that comment.

Great documentary! This might be one of my favourite works of yours (second only to the Hermann Göring one). My composer documentary wishlist: - J. S. Bach (of course) - W. A. Mozart (of course) - Antonin Dvořák - Jean Sibelius - Johannes Brahms - Gustav Mahler - Igor Stravinsky - Antonio Vivaldi (not the biggest fan of his works, but he was an ordained priest ffs (!!!))

Thanks for the video! Just a note, you may have meant Cello “sonatas” instead of concertos at 21:37. The Op. 5 Cello sonatas were dedicated to the King, and besides the Triple Concerto Op. 56, we don’t have any solo concerti from Beethoven :(

The most unbelievable is, that "Missa Solemnis" was written by a totally deaf man. It contains church tonality here and there. Beethoven used a clear D major to wipe away the sombriety of dorian. He has managed a large, complex inner sound-picture - and must have had an IQ of 140.... at least!

The third movement of his "Moonlight Sonata" is my favorite classical piece......a brilliant composition and in sharp contrast speedwise to the more famous (but equally brilliant) first movement. A very difficult piece to play and a real showpiece if you can manage it!

He very well may have been the greatest of the classical period. My favorite of his melodies is included in his overture to Egmont, which in my humble opinion even surpasses those of Mozart.

It is a subjective question, but to me, he was the greatest. I love his symphonies, with the 5th, to me, being his best by a long way....so far ahead of it's time.

Thanks for this very nice video about Beethoven's life. Always interesting to learn about such great a person. The question if Beethoven was the greatest composer of western classical music is i.m.h.o. impossible to answer. There have been written such great works by several composers, before and after Beethoven. Western classical music is still an ongoing process. If our western cultural world is to develop further -considering recent problems of immigration and climate change- there will be great things to come. But I think that Beethoven is one of the greatest composers of all time.
