What are some interesting facts on ode to joy?

Answer 1

"Ode to Joy" is a hymn to the joy which he felt was forever lost to him when he wrote Heiligenstat Testament. There is some irony in Beethoven's final masterpiece. Looking at Beethoven's life, one  sees more misery than anything. His youth suffered at the hands of his violently alcoholic father, and his adulthood suffered in his progressive and eventually complete deafness. And yet, he was able to compose the Ninth Symphony, with its "Ode to Joy," arguably one of the most beautiful compositions in history. How Beethoven managed to find Joy so perfectly after decades of torture is contrary to the principles of basic psychology.
