Throughout the rest of Beethoven's life the knocking haunted him. Everywhere he went he heard the same four knocks. On his death bed, Beethoven smiled and said, "The knocking has stopped." He passed away a few moments later, enjoying the silence in his last few seconds of life
The four beats in this piece r what Beethoven though was death itself, knocking on his cabin door. The joyful soundin area was when Beethoven had thought he escaped death although you can still hear it in the background
I have to say it sounds like a better version of my kids fighting. A much better version. Think I will hear this instead of the screaming from here on out.
I agree it is super but seems Beethoven himself spat the dummy on this also with his words "oh no my friends, not these tunes", and although he had just identified movements 1 to 3 of the 9th, he was surely including the other 8 symphonies.
The line 'oh friends, not these tones' was designed specifically to introduce the poem itself that the whole symphony was based on. It is not a reference to earlier works, and certainly not an expression of dissatisfaction with them. It simply facilitates the move into the choral part of this particular symphony.

I marvel at Leonard Coen in Hallelujah
"The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king
Composing Hallelujah"

I have all the symphonies on my mp3 player, they are not identified in titles.
1 TO 9th and some sonatas.
Love his work, and for sure i listen the other symphonies not only the 9th. He said that? He was refering to the whole 9th symphony?
