Me too! I thought it was a complaint about playing the first movement on its own. Then I saw it was Syd ...

So, what can you tell us about the first movement of van Beethoven's Ninth? What is it all about do you think?

Its in D minor. Its like Beethoven but for grown ups.

Its a unusually lop sided sonata form time wise, with the recap in the middle of the mvt and a long coda. And you hear codetta tune once in the exopsition but no less than 3 times in the recap/coda!

My one is 18 and a half minutes and boy does it drag! Still good though.
