Is it just me or does 3:20 resemble Pachabel's canon?

@werq34ac probably just you :)

I hardly think that a person who speaks in such terms about a masterpiece can actually appreciate any part of it. Not to mention that there is no 'best part', for the WHOLE of it is the best.

Ode to joy. Bellisima

Absolutely beautiful, the entire symphony, amazing! Not to belittle any other composer, but Beethoven was on an ENTIRE different level when he crafted this masterpiece; I can applaud for eternity and I wouldn't be giving him his fair due (same goes for the orchestra and conductor, bravo!). I see the views drop slowly on each part; WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING? This is the most triumphant most exhilarating finale in the history of music. Thank you, Beethoven.

@elias12186 it's absolutely not just him this part has the exact melody and progression as Pachabel's canon from the descending major scale at around 3:24 and the next couple of seconds
