To me...and many others...this 3rd movement is THE most beautiful piece of music ever composed. The beginning section reminds me of flying above the clouds and looking down on them during flight. In August of 2021...my 19 year old cat died. While she was slowly shutting her eyes for the last time...I played this 3rd movement. This beautiful masterpiece really helped me at that moment as I had to watch her close her eyes forever...

People identify the 9th symphony so much with the 4th movement, 'Ode to Joy', that they forget about this tranquil 3rd movement. At least, it is lesser mentioned.

The 4th movement is a bit weird, it has some problems. Too fragmented in my opinion. The best movement of the 9th symphony is the 2nd movement.

I started to listen to this movement as a 12 year old boy and from the very beginning it was my favorite movement of "The Ninth". And after over 40 years of listening to it many hundreds of times I can still discover something new in it; it still moves me to tears; it never grows old or becomes plain. The two main themes are so seemingly simple, yet so profound and transcedental; ( the meandering first , adagio molto e cantabile, with its theme-stretching, echoing woodwindparts; and then the andante moderato-theme, with its key- ( d-major) and rhythm change, even more beautifful. And just listen to the difficult overlapping transgressions between the two themes with the sublime slight tempo changes and the perfect morendo of the woodwinds ending their last echo of the first theme to get an idea how perfect this interpretation and performance of Daniel Barenboim and the young musicians of his West-Eastern-Divan-orchestra are indeed. The tempi, the phrasing, the dynamics, the ritardandi..., everthing is perfectly chosen and fits the movement best. ) The variations of the two themes are so sublime and complex ( at least the ones for the first theme), although they remain mainly figural variations, the two trumpet signals before the expanded coda so majestic ..., It's such a heavenly piece, words just fail to sufficiently describe this absolute musical miracle ! No wonder Beethoven had to start the last movement with the dissonant chords in forte of the "Terror-Fanfare", as Wagner called it, in order to bring the listeners " back to earth" again for the finale.

The pinnacle of western classical music, many agree ! One characteristic of western society is restlessness. Most western classical mirrors this restlesness. But in this piece I think European music leaps from restlessness to restfulness and ebbs and flows. The restless theme with its ethereal beauty leaves a craving heart and a feverish brow. The restful theme lifts the spirit to a realm where the craving becomes prayer and the fever a benediction..

I did not mean to suggest that there was a direct connection. The transcendent quality of this, and much of Beethoven's music, is our re-link to timeless issues of human existence that can be brought into any and all situations to restore perspective for our ultimate benefit.

Beautiful words Mr. Berengena. Today I saw the movie The Soloist (Aug.12, 20). At the end the movie ends with this beautiful piece of music. I'd been listening to Beethoven's music for 40 years. But today I felt the music was talking to my soul and I ended in tears. Then I remember the words from Beethoven: -"Music is the most sublime of forms of communication".

@@tonynikon It's interesting how certain things align and we find ourselves responding to music, art or even words in a profound way. I'm like that too. Sometimes the impact overrides everything happening around us and we rise to a part of ourselves that we forget we have within us. The question that sometimes comes to me is whether that is intrinsic to us all, or are some of us more receptive due to innate constitution or previous experience(s)? What I know: I fail at times to share what I feel with some people -- like talking to a wall. Goethe once said, "The soul that sees beauty sometimes walks alone."

It is almost useless to try to describe this, surely one of the greatest pieces of art ever made. Every sublime note cuts deep and gives to us feelings that are extatic, sad and glorious all at the same time. THIS is what humankind is capable of! This beautiful sound cries in the face of all our petty goings on and all our sad wars and also plays for the disadvantaged, the despairing, the refugees, the displaced in society. Let us be grateful for the outstanding genius of L V beethoven and the utter genius of Daniel Baranboin.

I wholeheartly agree with your comment what the sheer beauty of this movement is concerned. 👍 But that's not the first theme ( adagio molto e cantabile) anymore at 3:59, but here starts the second theme ( andante moderato) with its key ( D-major) and rhythm change and - as you said it- it is really captivating and utterly beautiful, even more beautiful than the first adagio-theme imho. At 5:20 the first adagio-theme returns, this time with figurations by the first violins. It returns again, this time with even more complex figurations by the first violins at 10:20. Listen very closely and you can still hear the pure theme in the oboe and flute voices. This movement is basically a variation-movement with TWO themes; the first theme ( adagio) gets two full variations as mentioned above. the second theme ( andante), that you had so rightly described as utterly beautiful, gets only one, very moderate variation ( mostly in orchestration and key change from its original D-major to G-major ) at 7:30. The first and main theme also gets partially quoted after the variation of the andante-theme and where after the first notes it develops freely into a lengthy intermezzo in form of a dialoque between the woodwinds and the french horn ( at 8:50), before it returns in totality and heavily figurated by the first violins as mentioned at 10:20. The first trumpet fanfare at 12:30 then leads into the expanded and fractioned Coda.

From 3'55", that melody coming in... how can a few simple notes evoke such heart-wrending, bittersweet emotion, more poignant even than unrequited love? And played by such beautiful young lives from across a divide which, tragically, lies more deeply riven and exposed a decade on than even it was at the time of this Beethoven cycle. Oh to get the opposing political and military leaders in some room together to listen to this and then try arguing that war is still a viable option.

I played this a few years ago and as a first violinist you need to bring your A game. It's so virtuosic and terrifyingly exposed. I think this movement needs to be rehearsed more than the others in many ways. If one person is slightly off, or if the rest of the orchestra rush their slow moving theme, it becomes more adversarial with the rest of the orchestra, and that's so not the point! And ahhh, those key changes pivot so exquisitely 😊

The tempi, the phrasing, the dynamics, the ritardandi..., everthing is perfectly chosen and fits the movement best. ) The variations of the two themes are so sublime and complex ( at least the ones for the first theme), although they remain mainly figural variations, the two trumpet signals before the expanded coda so majestic ..., It's such a heavenly piece, words just fail to sufficiently describe this absolute musical miracle ! No wonder Beethoven had to start the last movement with the dissonant chords in forte of the "Terror-Fanfare", as Wagner called it, in order to bring the listeners" back to earth" again for the finale.

My favourite performances of the symphonies are Harnoncourt's, with the exception of the 9th, which he murders, especially by playing the 3rd movement far too fast. It sounds best played as slowly as possible. The glacial speed is perfect here.

I agree with all who believe this to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. I've always thought that this 3rd movement should have a ballet set to it. You hear this especially in the parts where 3/4 time takes over. Then low and behold, I saw a ballet that has been set to it. It is available to watch on Medici Tv. You do have to be a subscriber to see this. It is a very modern ballet and set to this.

Yes, this needs to be glacially slow. Especially at the start, the tempo is perfect.

He is definitely treading up there with the gods on this one. His larghetto lifts me up every time. Sometimes high enough that I don't hear those people in the audience coughing. NOTE: For those of us who first knew this movement from a vinyl disc, it would break at the end of Side One. (continued on Side Two after flipping record)

Nothing really prepares you for those stark statements at 12.35. Even though you know they are coming, they still strike at the heart, as if unexpected.

Had the good fortune in about 1980 to see this as my first classical music concert, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. It was conducted by the great Rostropovich who was like eight feet in front of me. I sat in seat A-1. It was fabulous. Another great one to see live is Carmina Burana. Hope you get your wish to see it sometime!

“Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best.” (Frank Zappa, Packard Goose in Joe's Garage). This 3rd movement is all about elegance and beauty. No piece of music can surpass this one.
