Sinfonia No. 9, Opus 125 - IV. Finale: Ode à Alegria (Nível Avançado) Beethoven — Partitura para Piano

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is one of the most influential composers of all time. Although he was a classical composer, he greatly influenced the Romantic period (1830-1900).

In his lifetime, he wrote nine symphonies. Ode to Joy is part of Beethoven's ninth and last symphony, one of his most iconic works. It was written between 1822 and 1824, and is often referred to as the 'choral' symphony. Ode to Joy is the fourth movement in the symphony and it is played by an orchestra, four vocal soloists and a choir. The words of the piece are taken from a poem by Friedrich Schiller (1785).

This piece has become a symbol of hope and unity, and is the official anthem of the European Union.
