The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 (also known as "the Choral"), is Ludwig van Beethoven's final complete symphony. Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best-known works in classical music.[1] It is almost universally considered by critics to be one of Beethoven's greatest works.
The second movement has the Italian performance instructions "Scherzo: Molto vivace – Presto". This translates roughly as "Scherzo: very lively, then moving to very fast". The duration of the movement is about 12 minutes, but different conductors may take longer or shorter time periods to perform the movement, depending on the speed at which they conduct the movement. The second movement is a scherzo and trio.
