I've been listening to Beethoven's 9th symphony on and off for the last couple of months now. Cycling to work, at the gym, walking down the street. It makes me care about my future.

It is his greatest work.

I love the 9th, but I have to say that I really feel like the 8th is a little hidden treasure that I've been listening to a lot lately; it's probably my favourite work of the bunch. What's neat about it is that you can hear a short "preview" of the 9th's last movement sorta make an appearance about 4 minutes into the 8th's last movement. If you haven't give it a listen, I think it's far too underrated.

What makes me chuckle is that when asked why the 7th was more popular than the 8th Beethoven replied, "because the 8th is so much better".

I just love Beethoven.
