i play this for american youth strings ensemble and we only play up to half of the song.

I see the universe come into existence, collapse and come into existence in an endless cycle, galaxies forming webs of existence, culminating into a bright sphere of one, breathing calmly, endless. Myriad Multiverses, building an endless glowing carpet of possibility, people breathing under stars as they are stardust themself, in all possible sorts of existence.. Music is a magnificent thing.

Is it lame that I actually cried about the explanation from wushuboy26? I really wish Beethoven's life had been much better than it really was.

@tatayudah I waited for the climax in the score, but no...

Maestro is to be forever loved and greatly respected for his great passion for creating beauty in music. This particular piece as his many others creates in the listener something different each time in listening. The passion of this piece cannot be described in words.

I absolutely love how into the music these people get when the climax happens. Just goes to show how inspirational Canadians are.

@wushuboy26 I don't think I have ever read a more moving youtube comment than this one.

@wushuboy26 This is truly my favorite work of art. It doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I always get shivers down my spine. Beethoven's 7th symphony is the reason why I love Classical orchestra's so much.

At the time when Beethoven wrote this Symphony, he was 90% hearing impaired, not completely deaf. At the beginning of this movement, he keeps adding layers after layers to the melody they are all getting louder and louder. Beethoven was trying to hear this piece. He feels the vibration, but he can't hear it. At the peak of this melody (3:02), he finally heard the melody. It makes me sad to see him struggle to hear, so that's why when I play this song, I play with my heart and with deep respect.
