Beethovan's Ode to Joy is the final movement of his last symphony - Symphony No. 9.
Its considered one of the greatest works in western music :)
Beethovan was the first major composer to use the human voice within a symphony; had an orchestra bigger than any of its time; and a playtime longer than any other symphonic works...
After this masterpiece, other composers began breaking the rules of classifical period compositions ;)
Just an encouragement to youths!
And something for old fogeys who tend to stay within the tried and tested ;)
Thanks for effort to sharing with me the long story from Beethoven :) I don't understand the music composer stuff, music study stuff... but I do like to listen to music be it classical or modern but only don't know how to appreciates hard rock... hahaha If u happen to go to his hometown can try to attend some musical function there :)
Paiseh... deleted previous message... wait spoilt the surprise liao... hahaha...

No need to know the backstory if you not into historical trivia.
Now Singapore rich. Can afford to buy Art and Culture from abroad. The major acts are all coming here ;)
People tend to stick to the tested methods. There are many rooms to the exploration of the alternatives which are largely untested and experimented.
