Was Beethoven Cursed? The Mystery of the Ninth Symphony



It’s said that Beethoven’s death was like a biblical scene — he shook his fist at the heavens and a clap of thunder roared across Vienna as he left this world. His contemporary, Mahler, would become obsessed with his death because of another strange coincidence surrounding it: he died composing his tenth symphony, making Beethoven one of a long line of composers to die after completing their ninth symphony. Mahler would call this the curse of the ninth. Is there some strange supernatural power that limits earthly musicians to nine symphonies like a cat has nine lives? Or have these composers made a deal with the devil? Time for Rory and Kit to put on their powdered wigs and investigate!

  1. call it a costume all you want guys, i've seen Kit dressed like that out and about TOO MANY TIMES for it to be true. that's just how he normally looks. i even saw him dressed like that in a beer garden, he fell off his chair holding a pint and didn't spill a drop. then he looked around, and just said "now THATS how you keep COMPOSED"
