Ludwig van Beethoven best work

The last of Beethoven's nine symphonies, composed between 1822 and 1824, is undoubtedly his best-known work. And many critics and musicologists consider it a masterpiece of Western classical music and one of the supreme achievements in the entire history of music.
The Ninth Symphony was the first example of a major composer including vocal parts in a symphony. The final movement, the fourth, of the symphony features four vocal soloists and a chorus in the parallel key of modulated D major, commonly known as the “Ode to Joy.”
