After the
first sketches had been
put to paper in 1815,
Beethoven only finally
put the finishing touches
to his last completed
symphony in 1824. With
its extended finale in
which soloists and choir
perform, building the
bridge to the symphonic
cantata with their
invocation of fraternity,
it marks a caesura in the
history of the symphony
that echoed long into the
nineteenth century. The
main theme of the ode
“To Joy†by
Friedrich Schiller, set
to music in the final
movement, has become one
of the most popular
melodies in all of
classical music and today
serves as the official
anthem of Europe. Based
on the musical text of
the Beethoven Complete
Edition and furnished
with a new preface, this
recently prepared edition
reflects the latest in
Beethoven scholarship.
Now,in this study
edition, it is available
to everyone at a
reasonable price and in a
handy format.
