And through the peace of worldly space,
The ninth wave washed to the very stars
O Thought, reveal yourself! Word, become music,
Strike to the hearts of men, let the world rejoice!
Nikolai Zabolotsky. Beethoven

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony ranks alongside such great works of art as Homer’s poems, Dante’s La divina commedia, Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Goethe’s Faust and Bach’s High Mass... It expressed the aims of its age in an utterly perfect manner, and at the same time it gave a voice to human ideals to which we remain faithful to this very day. It concluded Beethoven the symphonist’s artistic path and it also paved the way for the future.
By including poetic verse in the symphony, Beethoven took an incredibly innovative step which initially staggered his contemporaries. For the composer himself, the writing of the Ninth Symphony was the result of many years’ work in an attempt to find a musical embodiment for Schiller’s Ode an die Freude.
For the first time, Beethoven took a text in order to express the philosophical concept of a symphony. But the most important thing, even starting with Beethoven himself, is that the symphony – as subtly expressed by German music historian Paul Bekker – performs the role of a “secular mass” that brings concert hall audiences together in the same way that a Sunday mass brings parishioners together at church. And it is not by chance that Beethoven’s brilliant rendering of Schiller’s Ode an die Freude is the official anthem of the European Union, a united Europe. It is not by chance that it is performed everywhere as an apotheosis of freedom and fraternity of all mankind.
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony was first performed on 7 May 1824 in Vienna under the baton of the composer. Iosif Raiskin

the ninth wave passed to the very stars...
Open your thoughts! Become the word music,
strike the hearts so that the world may triumph!
Nikolai Zabolotsky. "Beethoven"

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony stands among other greatest works of world art, such as Homer's poems, Dante's "Divine Comedy", Cervantes' "Don Quixote", Goethe's "Faust", Bach's "High Mass"... It expressed the aspirations of its era, and at the same time proclaimed universal human ideals, to which we are still faithful today. She completed the creative path of Beethoven as a symphonist and at the same time opened the way to the future. By introducing the poetic word into the symphony, Beethoven took a deeply innovative step, which at first stunned his contemporaries. For the composer himself, the creation of the finale of the Ninth Symphony was the result of many years of searching for the musical embodiment of Schiller’s ode “To Joy.”
Beethoven first called upon the word to express the philosophical concept of the symphony. But most importantly, starting with Beethoven, the symphony, according to the apt definition of the German musicologist Paul Becker, plays the role of a “secular mass”, uniting listeners in concert halls in a single experience, just as Sunday mass united parishioners in church. And it is no coincidence that Beethoven’s brilliant implementation of Schiller’s ode “To Joy” became the official anthem of the European Community - a united Europe. It is no coincidence that it sounds everywhere as the apotheosis of freedom and brotherhood of all mankind.
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was first performed in Vienna on May 7, 1824, conducted by the author. Joseph Raiskin
