Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C Minor (1)

[littlemisssuper1]

rock on beethoven! i would have loved to have played in his orchestra.....

[NovideoOnlycomment]

oh God i hate the name of an account with numbers

[chobit389]

That face.... "Deafness? BEETHOVEN DON'T GIVE A FUCK!"

[MissBelieved]

@chobit389 Honey Badger dont care!

[thefantobi]

It shocks me how grossly un-cultured you freaks harping on about spongebob are. And then I remember, you're probably American's.

[ncgrL16]

@GotSwagBruh wow. lol. you are so igorant. Just because its not what you listen to does not make it trash. I like lil wayne, but in my opinion, this is real music. You just think differently.

[MrYataRock]

64 dislike ? nice try mozart...

[mrs2411]

It's amazing how you can feel in this piece the frustation caused by his deafness... how he's trying to hear the "knocking of the door" and he can't, how you can feel in the piano side his pain and sadness and then returns to frustration again...

[BulletCowboy]

@mrs2411 Funny... He wasn't deaf when he composed this... lmao & u !

[mrs2411]

@BulletCowboy he was becoming deaf xD

[symbiote35]

I can't help but air-guitar to this.

[EASTB3AST]

ik HAAT... reclames

[MegaResident007]

@EASTB3AST ik ook

[canadianmb9]

Thumps up if you're watching this in 2012, and you still think that its 2011.

[LandynCaissie]

@canadianmb9  your telling me it takes you this long to transition?

[grifon54]

64 stupid

[MrMandy426]

i listen to this while materbait when it gets intense

[iammadrightnow]

@MrMandy426 uh wut?

[roundallaround]

Brilliant!

[emocircusops]

pretty amazing music even though this genius was a psycopath

[OilyTower]

@emocircusops Most Geniuses turned that way because of their insane abilities :D

[Dakukobura]

Hey, I'm a 15 year old kid who's trying to get more into classical music, and I'm really into heavier music when it comes to the other genres I listen to, so I figure that if that's the case, then I should be into heavier classical, right? Well, I just want to know if anyone can recommend any heavier things, like this.

[mrsmillamant]

@Dakukobura Have u tried Wagner ?

[bbeckett]

@Dakukobura Check out Wagner, Ligetti, Penderecki, to a lesser extent Glass.

[bbeckett]

@Dakukobura Also Bach's organ works can get pretty intense.

[BulletCowboy]

@Dakukobura Try Metallica

Yes a joke.. Stick to listening to all the composers of the past 500 years & u will fair well. Do not get stuck into a routine of the "best" symphonies, as this will only lead u in 1 direction. Try 2 gather as much as you can from each composer, early works - later works... U will be amazed at the difference each composers journey through life takes... Good Luck !

[obtica1]

Music of a Genius...

[RMac777]

Another artist disco tried to ruin.

[Fuliginosus]

This tune wouldn't be so famous if it hadn't been used on Spongebob Squarepants.

[themagicayrtonsenna]

@Fuliginosus SpongeBob??? what the fuck is wrong with you???

You are talking about one of the great masters of music. People who really know about music know about Bethoveen, no matter if some cartoon character played his music...

[Fuliginosus]

@themagicayrtonsenna I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I know that Beethoven was like the Lady Gaga of his time. I'm just saying that, in the case of this particular tune, the reason so many people know it is because of SpongeBob. I myself had never heard it before the cartoon, and I know several people who refer to it as the 'SpongeBob music.'

[Exxaxl]

@Fuliginosus Wow, are you really comparing Gaga with Beethoven here? :') Some people on the internet are... Raargh! :D

Maybe it's because those "many people you know" are all little kids watching too much spongebob not paying enough attention in music class.

I'm glad I spent most my evenings with my grandmother, listening to Beethoven, Bach and many others. Knowing that some grannys are still doing the very same makes me feel good for a little while, unttil I see stuff like this...

[kevinqa]

@Fuliginosus how old are you?

[steller2012]

ba ba ba BAAAAA!!! ba ba ba BAAAAA!!!

[paawit]

Happy 202nd. Birthday, Symphony No. 5

22.Dec. 2011

[DMVOfficial]

@StJouish Ms. StJouish, the only reason he would be able to compose after he went deaf would be to his knowledge of written, and aural music theory. If he was deaf from the start, he might be able to write music using written music theory, but he would not know what it sounded like. Aural music theory allowed him to remember, and hear in his head. He would not have to take a class to learn aural music theory.Turn up the volume on a nice system and blast classical..tell me a timpani doesnt strike

[muzzleddoxund1]

Dat bridge theme.

[schmuckenheimer9]

the first 4 notes and punk is born

[adrianmusic2009]

[sENoZ93]

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827)

But we still remember you my friend.

[sweeetmelody9]

Beethoven was a frickin rockstar.

[footballking7446]

@sweeetmelody9 not was. IS.

[mrs2411]

@sweeetmelody9 totally agree

[Aiyoros]

btw epic masterpiece

[SocrateAdmirer]

I don't fancy I idea to play Beethoven with baroque orchestra : it doesn't sound strong and viril enough. What you think?

[tubotoothpaste]

One of the Greatest and most highly respected Maestro of Western Classical Music. Each of his work has his legendary and genius incline, and will be there for the generations to hear and enjoy his great artistry in Classical music!!

[markusboyd3]

This certianly does express a degree of irritation within Beethovens mind when he wrote this...

[Nikolas9759]

wow i like it :)

[dakamo11]

this song makes you feel violent, perseviering and it inspires me to live, lough and take vengence on those who wrong me, and as fr rap well my brothers its crap.

[theLightningKnights]

This sorte of music is so mush bether that rap or pop

[vandijkav]

This is the music that lifts one soul to the heavens

[glittersandicing]

DUN DUN DUN DUUNNNNNNNNNN!!! :) love this so much

[DMVOfficial]

Beethoven WENT deaf.. he wasn't born DEAF. He could still hear when he wrote this. The 9th symphony was when he was completely deaf! He didn't learn when he was deaf. He WENT deaf.He WENT deaf. ALSO, just because he WENT deaf doesn't mean he couldn't feel the vibrations from his piano. He sawed off the legs so that he would be able to feel the vibrations when he went deaf. Basically, he wrote the 9th symphony from the vibrations he felt, and his already extensive knowledge of aural music theory.

[NoahSV]

@DMVOfficial Beethoven didn't compose at the piano. Composers are able to hear the notes in their head and know what notes they are, so, in some ways, deafness is good for a composers as it blocks out outside sound,

[Offin]

@NoahSV unfortunatelly, beethoven heard some annoying buzzing all the time....I just hope it wasnt in some annoying pitch...pitch perfect people are driven crazy by annoing non-perfect pitch..I have heard about one conductur who had to adjust something in his washing maschine with a screwdriver, because while it was working, it made this terrible D...

[StJouish]

@DMVOfficial So...if I understand you correctly, Beethoven WENT deaf, WENT Deaf, WENT deaf? That's a shame. Do U really think that the vibrations of the piano on the floorboards had very much to do with the composition of the Ninth Symphony? I think tha twould have been neglible. I suspect it was more like being able to hear the music in his head.

[DMVOfficial]

@StJouish I think, sir, you understand me. Somewhat. Being able to hear the music in your head is great, and that is why I added "his already extensive knowledge of aural music theory", but there is NOTHING like feeling the vibrations of sound hitting you. Aural music theory lessons teach you to "hear music in your head."

[StJouish]

@DMVOfficial Thank U for your reply. Why do people assume that if you post a comment or reply you would properly be addressed as "Sir?" In my case, "Ms." would be more appropriate. Pretty darn high falutin' about the aural music THEORY. But why would knowledge of aural music THEORY, have any thing to do with being able to compose after he "WENT deaf?" Agreed, "there is NOTHING like feeling the vibrations of sound hitting you" or even HITTING you. However, not sure, that vibrations STRIKE.

[StJouish]

[EliasCalabretta1]

@DMVOfficial

but you must consider that he could've been born with the DNA to dictate his later "impairment". but i agree that he could still feel the music. but more than likely, like most composers of the age, didn't need to hear the music through their ears, because they could hear the music wizzing in their heads. I mean, I watched a documentary which goes on to say how Beethoven could hear each and every individual instrument of the orchestra all in his head.

[midnachick97]

@DMVOfficial Hence the reason Beethoven is my idol. He is simply amazing. <3

[TerrenceDickins]

@DMVOfficial you were there, right?

haha it's just a theory you recited, maybe he pretended he was deaf to impress? Why not just enjoy the music rather than stipulate such events? ;)

[PT8475]

@DMVOfficial Its especially brilliant when you consider that today we consider the 9th symphony to be one of the greatest pieces of music ever, and yet its composer never heard a not of it.

[dAntheredalien]

@DMVOfficial OK i COMPLETELY understand the POINT you're trying to MAKE.

[doczg88]

@DMVOfficial :) ah, this makes it so much less extraordinary :)

[hallo1HOJT5]

whish one is it starts with didilidili didilidili didilididididlelettlelii de de de dum de de de dum de de de dum de de de? :D

[StJouish]

@hallo1HOJT5 I can't remember the name of it offhand. But I can hear it in my head exactly as if the vibrations were HITTING me from my aural music THEORY lessons and the piano legs had been sawed off. Ha Ha Ha Haaaa!

[Assasins666Creed]

@crowfaceltd Yes, technically speaking, but the classical period is a continuation of the baroque. The only differences are that they expanded on 7th chords and the concept of arpeggios was developed.

[Assasins666Creed]

Beethoven broke all rules of of the baroque period style of music, which was puppeteered by the Roman Catholic Church. He ushered in the era of true Romanticism. He took the contour of previous styles, opened them, and freed them to allow for a more amazing melodic line. Truly beautiful.

[crowfaceltd]

@Assasins666Creed but it goes baroque -> classical -> romanticist?

[iouthefavor]

@crowfaceltd yes.



[Guitar1379]

@tintearluin i dont agree because im 14 and i enjoy classical music not to be different because it is so beautiful just to hear proper music without all the modern rapping crap :)

[UncreativePerson123]

@Tintearluin

I completely agree, nothing is more annoying than reading "yeah im 14 and i love beethoven and lady gaga lol"

[gokucrazy22]

sure Andrea Bocelli and Stevie Wonder are blind and are great musicians but cmon, beethoven was deaf. blind don't do crap when learning music. in fact, it helps because it heightens your sense of sound but being deaf means you can't hear SHIT. yet he still makes music that are bamf's

[MonkersX]

Just chillin' with my man Ludwig Van.

[babyfacemokkie113]

Man.......... Wrong sypmphony does anyone know where symphony 56 is?

JK LUV BEETHOVEN

[chilichimps96]

Oh my god, I have been searching for this on and off for about 6 years, not knowing where it was from. Finally haha

[masterchiefisawomen]

@baylorbears21 Its never going to die, 18 here and this is just wonderful, nothing beats just closing my eyes and putting my own story to the music.

[usmamronaldo]

Nic

[LTKXHunter]

People are arrogant. If you simply don't like it then don't bother watching. Nobody tied you to a chair and made you listen to it. This is a masterpiece and if you can't appreciate it then I don't believe you have a sense of taste in music.

[RonnieLola]

@LTKXHunter *Ignorant? o:

[nfarioustinman]

BEEFOVEN IS WACK, I ROCKMANOZ"S QUALUDE IN Z MINOR

[gena2019]

Не знаю o России, но 15 декабря BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 5 в Филадельфии. “the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique transports listeners back in time, offering a rare glimpse into how these seminal Beethoven works might have sounded when they first premiered.”

[lilynafford08]

only a deaf man could make this noise

[Tintearluin]

I have listened to the great classical composers on here all night, just chilling out. It staggers me, every video I watch has a comment that began "I'm a foetus and I luv Mozart and Beethoven!"

You know what? I don't care how old you are. I don't care if not a single person under 21 listens. It will still exist and I will still listen.

You only like it to feel isolated from your peers in a weird 'I am different' kind of way like every generation. Sorry for the negativity but it's boring now.

[mrtundra45]

oh dear lord.... a lil wayne comment on a beethoven video?

im done with this world............

[Aiyoros]

@mrtundra45 I don't want to live in this planet anymore

[StJouish]

@Aiyoros Why not? Life is good.

[SupremeHardstylez]

@mrtundra45 i used to listen to lil wayne, then i took an arrow to the knee

[NinjaPigWorrier]

@SupremeHardstylez When I see this comment i usually say ' well let me help your out, and i will shove the arrow up your ass' however i couldnt agree more!

@hotathlete2 I like Michael Jackson and Beethoven, we can have a taste in a large variety of music you ignorant fool.

[Yulaw1811]

@hotathlete2 dont compare like that dude , MJ and AL are pop stars, otherwise Beethoven is classic star :)

[hotathlete2]

@Yulaw1811 You're right, no one can be compared to Beethoven.

[hotathlete2]

Beethoven Rocks.

[hotathlete2]

Beethoven was one of John Lennon's influences as he admitted. When a reporter asked him how he felt about Beethoven, Lennon replied: love him.

[TheStrii]

@hotathlete2

Lennon was a kid with a toy guitar compared to beethoven.

[hotathlete2]

@TheStrii No one can be compared to Beethoven!

[SCOPEDWTF]

@hotathlete2 I think Bach can and Mozart, for they are true geniuses

[DailyDoseOfHappiness]

if satanic muffin gets more likes then he will point at beethoven, do not let this happen!

[ChubbyPom]

Im14 and classical music is my cup of tea :3

Im not trying say that my musical tastes are superior to other teens,but I wish my generation would listen to Beethoven and the rest.

It'll be tragic to see this kind of music 'die' :(

[ChemicalMatty]

@ChubbyPom It won't die. :)

[HiGhLiKeAlLaDin]

Beethoven is BOSS!!!!

[mdk0511]

he wasn't deaf until he was around 30

[xXAZcroN420Xx]

thumbs up if you think beetoven is more raw than lil wayne.

[1frogkilla]

i love beethoven and im 13 this is a masterpiece

[whyserveinheaven]

lay off the skooma dude, It's all about perception.

[pwiReflecteD]

Sigh, do not talk if you have no idea what you are talking about. He was not deaf when he composed this piece of art. As a matter of fact he was not deaf at any piece of art he composed.

[wyrdawarrior50]

@pwiReflecteD well he nevered heard his last piece but he didnt play it either he just composed it

[mdk0511]

I think he was deaf for his last 4 pieces

[flossie5432]

I first heard -and loved this- when I was a baby.I still love it 57 years later.How many times can you say that of other musical pieces? Beethoven was a genius.

[GodOfUnbelief]

Beethoven looked badass manly. Mozart looked like a fag

[FindingEudaimonia]

61 people are deaf and jealous

[MJJiscute]

@FindingEudaimonia

Beethoven himself was deaf >.>

I know that this already was said a lot but yea...

there was no cell phone back then

[Jasinskier]

Clockwork Orange..



[NONEshallPERISH]

@CropCircle1996 Although Beethoven is hands down one of the best composers, someone who cursed God and turned his back on God can not be the Lord's instrument. God can and will use anyone to bring glory to His name. Yet, Beethoven does not glorify God at all. On the contrary, Beethoven was very much into putting man on a pedestal and exalting mankind into a status of a god. This is actually called idolatry and it is a sin against God.

[soulseeker300]

@NONEshallPERISH so why does christian music suck so bad?

[paurav66]

@NONEshallPERISH shut the fuck up abt your god and listen!!!

[SelphieTheNutter]

@Skoomaheadmrmush what the hell are you babbling on about all your doing is making yourself look like an idiot. In case your 2 pigheaded & selfcentered to realise kids actually watch you tube & I'm not going to allow myself to be one of these selfcentered a** holes that would rather through words that they shouldn't be reading in there face. This world is in the bad state it's in because of people that would rather focus on themself's only rather that focus on others people like you make me sick

[Skoomaheadmrmush]

@SelphieTheNutter how did you assume that i was egocentric from that comment i was just saying don't censor yourself on youtube fucking yuppie because no one cares that you aren't foul mouthed and you assume i'm self centered i don't believe it's people like me that are plummeting the world into discord but ignorant presumptious dicks like yourself
