I need to get something off my chest.
Would all of these "inspirational" videos of musicians COMING TOGETHER IN HARMONY through the POWER OF MUSIC do it with something besides BEETHOVEN'S ODE TO FUCKING JOY?!?!??!
I have nothing against Beethoven's 9th, but there is SO MUCH amazing music out there. Recycling the same few "hits" reduces "classical" music to predictable memes. It dumbs things down for the audience instead, of expanding their knowledge and experience.

No, he definitely finished the 9th. He started a 10th. I don't know how I feel about this idea:

"The" Unfinished Symphony you always hear about is Schubert 8, but there's also a 10th from Mahler, and don't get me started on Mozart's Requiem (nothing at all like the movie).
@anatman
His lieder for solo voice are my favorite. I never liked his solo piano music though.
@voltronic @Kitty62862 Schubert's symphonies are the bomb.
