''Clerici calls Beethoven’s 9th “the most important symphony in the history of music”. Beethoven had been fascinated by Friedrich Schiller’s poem ‘Ode to Joy’ for 20 years when he composed Symphony No. 9, his last finished symphony, composed when he was almost completely deaf. “It is a universal celebration of love for humanity, and the apex of the classical period,” says Clerici.''
