At that period he wrote two the most massive of his works: 9th Symphony (Choral) and Messa Solemnis.

In Symphony #9 in D Minor, his last symphonic work, he adds a solo quartet and chorus. Never before had any composer added voices to a symphony. Many were to follow Beethoven's lead in the future. In this last big work he set Schiller's Ode to Joy to music, a poem which describes the eternal brotherhood of man. On 7 May, 1824, completely deaf, he conducted this symphony. He heard nothing when the audience was applauding to him, and even did not suspect, until he saw them, clapping their hands and waiving hats.

"On March 26 the Viennese heavens were split with lightning and growled with thunder. It was almost as the city was giving voice of grief. A peal thunder rumbled in Beethoven's death room. Ever the rebel, Beethoven feebly raised a defiant fist toward the heavens. Then he fell back, and died". This story has become part of his literature. The medical conclusion about the reasons of his death looked like the list of diseases. It was not easy to say what is healthy. Martin Cooper in his monograph gave a detail inscription of Beethoven's medical history: deafness, cirrhosis of liver, possibly venereal disease (syphilis?). And as a concluding phrase of his work he wrote: "He never did think much of us; perhaps we should leave him in peace"?

Beethoven last words were: "Plaudite, amici, commedia finita est" - "Friends applaud, the Comedy is over".

Not the comedy, but the tragedy.
