well, if you were in Vienna you could have taken in the premier of (arguably) the greatest piece of music ever composed.On May 7, 1824, Beethoven shared his 9th Symphony with the world even though he could never hear it.
Very cool!
In the choir.
I was with Dizzy Guy, though I was playing in the back in the bass section.
I’ve heard it live several times. I encourage everyone to hear it live.
Gracias.
What was I doing?I was playing first trombone in that orchestra. Brilliant piece
Ode to Joy often brings me to tears. A transcendent piece of perfection.
I would have been there ..
Happy Birthday to it.
