Beethoven's final complete symphony redefined the genre, breaking new ground by incorporating vocal soloists and a chorus in its final movement. It was a model for Berlioz, Bruckner, Mahler, Brahms, and Wagner. He composed the symphony between spring 1823 and February 1824. Towards the end of the process, he decided to incorporate Friedrich Schiller's "An die Freude" into the final movement - a poem that he had attempted to put into music since the early 1790s. The symphony premiered at the Theater am Kärntnertor Vienna on May 7, 1824, marking a triumphant public return for Beethoven, who had not appeared on stage in over a decade. At either the end of the scherzo or the symphony - accounts vary - Beethoven, then almost completely deaf and unaware of the audience's reaction, had to be gently turned around by the contralto Caroline Unger so he could see the enthusiastic applause. He died in March the following year. Fuld, p. 563; Hirsch 395; Hoboken 502; Kinsky 813-832. Very Good.
