Beethoven's Ninth Will Never Be Played Again

I can't decide whether it be a tragedy that Beethoven's Ninth was supposed to be said, forget all the things we're talking about. He influenced classical music forever, and then influenced pop music and other things forever in all kinds of ways. So maybe it's just a misperception that it feels like a tragedy. But at the same time, there's something really powerful about the idea that a human being created something that was never here before,. And it was lost or never enjoyed again by other people.
