3. Reading: The Music That Changed Everything
The first time I heard Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 live, I understood for the first time why music is described as the universal language. The symphony, composed when Beethoven was almost entirely deaf, was first performed in Vienna in 1824. It is said that Beethoven, having turned to face the audience at the end, had to be physically turned around to see their standing ovation — he had heard nothing.
What strikes me most about the Ninth is the final movement, the "Ode to Joy," which sets Friedrich Schiller's poem to music. The melody — recognised now as the anthem of the European Union — was not written for any political purpose. It was written as a celebration of human brotherhood, a theme which resonates as powerfully today as it did two hundred years ago.
I have a strong preference for live classical music over recordings, because the acoustics of a great concert hall — the way sound is shaped by architecture — cannot be replicated. Music has been performed in public spaces for millennia; it is performed still, and it always will be.
