Detailed explanation-2: -Symphony No. 9 premiered on May 7, 1824, in Vienna, to an overwhelmingly enthusiastic audience, and it is widely viewed as Beethoven’s greatest composition.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is the first symphony to incorporate vocal soloists and chorus into what, until then, had been a purely instrumental genre. Words are sung in the final movement by four vocal soloists and a chorus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 is also known as the ‘Choral’ Symphony because Beethoven took the highly unorthodox step of writing the fourth movement for four vocal soloists and a chorus, setting parts of Schiller’s uplifting poem An Die Freude (Ode To Joy), which has as its theme the universal brotherhood of mankind.
