I feel like you did a great injustice to your review on the 9th symphony. The 4th movement defines a whole philosophy, Beethoven searching for meaning in this world, the Freude theme isn’t the most beautiful melody but it’s use of bringing the whole orchestra and choir together is so powerful and always leaves me in an unparalleled state. It is one of, if not the, greatest piece of music and collections of sounds I’ve ever heard.

To me, the famous Douglas Adams quote captures it quite well: Beethoven tells you what it's like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it's like to be human. Bach tells you what it's like to be the universe.

Academic? Grosse Fugue may be. But unemotional? Couldn't be further from the truth. It's one of the most passionate and raw pieces I've ever heard.

Beethoven has always been one of my favorites. His music is so rich in his personality, a perfect self-portrait of a complex person.

I've always loved Beethoven's 2nd movement from the 7th symphony.

We've always heard of big composer's merits but we never hear of Beethoven's musical flaws for example. I think a series of these videos would be very intriguing and interesting.

My jaw dropped when he said the Ode to joy is surely one of the most joyless melodies anyone could ever come up with😂. A moment of shock😅 I love the ninth so much. Especially the part where it goes "was die Mode stre-e-e-e-eng geteilt!" tears everytime... I love the message of the piece so much.

I would absolutely adore a Beethoven for haters video! His music is fantastic, but it being held in such high regard can smudge the jagged human details, and being guided through the musical “faults” (and personal faults as well) would be incredibly interesting.

The late period Bethoven is my favourite. So much knowledge and experience multiplied by the torment of being deaf as a composer.

There will never be another Beethoven. Unique genius that challenged multiple boundaries and to this day continues to cross national borders and cultures with debates on how to interpret, reinterpret and perform his works of art. Perhaps we could go as far as referring to the Beethoven era! He bridged the classical with the romantic with a voice that will speak for generations to come.

Beethoven and Bach are THE two for me. Genius titans of music. World changing.

Great video discounting the blasphemous remarks about the ode to joy melody 😂. I believe it is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written.. how it starts solitarily in the bases and blossoms with more and more instruments coming in, culminating in a march like it’s some kind of revolution; as if more people are swept into the message and taking over the world with it. Why do you dislike it so much Bruce?

(9:03) -- "What Douglas Hofstadter calls a 'soul-shard', a fragment of the composer's deepest humanity." What a word!

I recently bought the scores to all the string quartets. and the last ones are amazing. devastating. I adore them.

So glad you covered sonata 32 - I've been addicted to Igor Levit's 2019 recording since I first heard it. It's like the last triumphal pushes against death itself - Beethoven knows Death is there but no, "I'm not done yet!"

I genuinely think this video deserves millions of views. Appreciate it.

Brilliant crash course on Beet-hoven!🎉🎉

glad im not the only one who is underwhelmed by that ode to joy tune

One of my best musical memories was experiencing Beethoven's 9th symphony with full (actually augmented) orchestra and choir in February 2020 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Little did I know that it was to be my last live music experience for almost 3 years, due to the pandemic.

The whole point of the 9th symphony is that the very simple melody becomes meaningful and significant, but not out of context, only AFTER you have already heard all the contextual rhythmic variations, and the preludes leading up to it. It's a resolution, like a final chord.
