Reviewing the Premiere of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony

Imagine you are a music critic covering the 1824 premiere of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Your task is to

write a review of the piece that will judge its overall success. As a critic, you have a specialized

knowledge of music (think of the vocabulary you learned in unit one), but your readers will expect things

explained in clear, easily comprehended language. Your focus should be on the music, though you may include

some details about the quality of the performance itself if you feel they are particularly relevant.

Good music critics will identify what they believe to be the composer s goal and then render a verdict on

the composer s success. In doing so, they will naturally discuss the musical work within its context, namely

the norms and conventions of contemporary musical life.
