Do you see the poll yet? VBulletin is being a bit slow... I like the 8th's scherzo as well. The theory that it's supposed to be a parody of the (newly invented) metronome is neat.

However, I voted for the 4th - it makes me feel like I'm walking on clouds. :mellow:

I downloaded all the symphonies when BBC had them available for download on their Radio 3 webpage. Are these recordings in the public domain? I could upload all of these if that's the case.

The trio from the scherzo of symphony no. 2 seems to be the origin of the trio of the scherzo of symphony no. 9, and the trio of that scherzo is the origin of the ode to joy theme. Interesting. So the seeds for the 9th were sown way back then...
