Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven)

[if..fish..had..wings]

1. A masterpiece

One of the best compositions of all time.

2. Stanley Kubrick introduced me to the 9th

I doubt I'm alone among late middle age Americans in this.

I took a while for me to disassociate the music from the images in Clockwork Orange
