It will both pump you up and make you cry.

OK, this is largely fictional. What is true is that he could barely hear anything at this point in time. He could hear some vibrations, but not enough to let him know where in the heck he was in this.

The fictional part is that someone filled in to conduct the conductor (AFAIK). I just haven't looked into this to see how he managed.

All's I remember reading T/F is that he kept conducting the piece after it was done, until someone let him know and turned him around to see the audience. Kind of dubious and no links

4. That was amazing!

Fictional embroidery maybe, but the cinematic framing of being a witness to Beethoven’s Ninth’s premiere was thrilling. The music itself never ever disappoints!
