Curse of the Ninth! Ninth Symphonies
Why did so many great composers die after finishing their ninth symphony? This week, we look at the so-called curse of the Ninth Symphony, a legend that started with Beethoven in the mid-1820s. Over time, people began to believe that writing a ninth symphony could be a composer’s final work and maybe even mark their last year on Earth. We’ll listen to five famous ninth symphonies by Beethoven, Schubert, Bruckner, Dvořák, and Mahler.
