I'm surprised some of you guys don't like the last movement of the ninth. It sums up the whole symphony! It starts at the very bottom: it is so sad! Despairing, really. Then, gradually, the basses and cellos build up and the rest of the orchestra comes in gradually and wow! Just wow! I also like the way the beginning rejects the other three movements: it's like it's saying, No: this is not the way to lead one's life! We must live in joy and happiness. I admit the movement is a little repetitive but it's brilliant and what he does with the theme is incredible.
I recognize that this movement is the kind of music that you either love or detest. I guess I just love it
