The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music. It is one of the best-known works in common practice music and one of the most frequently performed symphonies worldwide. Symphony No. 9 was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. In the 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe, and later the European Union, as the Anthem of Europe. This photograph displays page 12 of Beethoven's original manuscript, which is currently held in the collection of the Berlin State Library. Manuscript credit: Ludwig van Beethoven

Graphs edit
I love it how Aboriginal paintings depict a whole story.
Good graphs can also tell a story, as Edward Tufte describes in his books on data visualization.

This Copernicus graph is a jewel. It is a graph that tells a whole story in an instant.
The blue, white, red lines are like waves of an ocean. The colours seem to show increasing temperature, yet actually show time, decades of data. Time and temperature coincide.
2023 jumps out of the waves, is out of bandwidth. Oceans are warming.
