Beethoven - Ode to Joy 

Hello!:) Thank you for waiting for a new video! At this time, I have prepared the performance with Beethoven’s Ode to Joy (German: An die Freude) from Symphony No. 9. Liszt arranged Symphony No. 9 for solo piano. It is too long to play it here. And, it’s not easy to prepare whole parts. So, I rearranged it for this video. I think that lots of people know this melody. I hope that you guys like this performance. Thank you so much! Have a great day!

Beethoven couldn't even hear his own masterpiece He had this melody in his head for several years

As always Kassia never fails to impress me. I remember this from 2 years ago when she had to put 2 clocks and her phone on her grand piano to prove she isnt faking. And now she has become a beloved artist in classical cummunity Great choice Great playing Keep up the terrific work kassia!

This piece feels very nostalgic.

Everybody : Ode to Joy is the easiest classical melody ever ! Liszt : Hold my piano

Beautiful arrangement Kassia and beautiful music too!

Each time I listen to this, I feel unity and peace in the world. A feeling where everyone treats one another as brother and sister. Beethoven truly was ahead of his time. Thanks for playing this.

This takes my breath away. I well know Beethoven's 9th and the Liszt arrangement, but bravo...especially 3:08 onwards...stunning!

0:04 Summer Break ends 1:36 You met ur idol 3:05 When ur crush askes you out

I didn't know this piece got so intense! Those octaves are crazy, well done.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony - An absolute staple in the Classical Canon. A brilliant composition by Beethoven on its own, and to take it a step forward, a brilliant transcription, arrangement, and an extraordinary performance by Kassia. Ode to Joy was the first piece I ever learned on the piano, and this performance brings back so many memories. Astonishing, is it not? How this piece is still considered one of the greatest symphonic works of all time, enduring the centuries since its publication and performance in 1824, just under three years before the composer's death in 1827. Contradicting the rest of the piece, which is in D Minor, Ode to Joy is in the key of D Major. This is possibly Beethoven's greatest work and is, by far, one of the greatest pieces in the entirety of the Classical Era, and, dare I say, of all time. Bravo, Kassia.

What a beautiful thing to listen to while playing fallout, thanks Kassia

An incredible rendition of such a popular piece, making sure it stays enjoyable for anyone, no matter how many times they’ve heard it. We really appreciate all the work you put into these videos Kassia!!

This is the first symphony I learned when I learn flute. Full of memories… thanks Kassia’s excellent performance😘

This is such a beautiful performance as always!!

This was unexpected! Very nice performance. This is one of the piano classics everyone knows, too. Very nice Kassia!

Casually droping Liszt's ode to joy.... Sign of a great pianist.

I absolutely love that bassoon countermelody. It was interpreted really skillfully on the piano

I was listening to this piece at full volume & my next door neighbor liked it so much that he threw a brick through my window so he could hear it better! I feel so honoured by their genuine appreciation for this masterpiece. 🎇

No clue how many years it got you to play this instrument so beautifully. I wish I can play like you someday!

This piece always calms me when I tap into hopelessness that humanity will never tackle challenges like climate change and create a more just society. Especially when they sing "und alle Menschen werden Brüder" it really warms my heart

Wow!!! Beethoven symphony no.9…It's a really cool song with a chorus, but it's really cool to play with just the piano!! It's a song I listened to a lot when I went to see an orchestra performance in the past! Happy to hear such a wonderful masterpiece!!

This was my grandmother's favorite song! She always loved when I played it. I've always wanted an extravagant version to learn and this might be it. Thank you for your excellent performance Kassia!

Symphony 9 Choral, the best piece of music ever written. The proof, that Lüdwig Van Beethoven was a true genius and a maestro. Bravo, Kassia! 💕

I am in tears. What beautiful rendition. So powerful and climactic.

Symphony 9 was first played in Vienna on 7 May 1824, the fascinating thing is the date was 7-5, Now see Kassia's subscribers😱

I always thank kassia for uploading. Kassia is so good at playing!

Beethoven was baptized on this very moment 252 years ago. This was his last symphony. I'm hearing this for the genius who couldn't (mostly) hear his last symphony. What a masterpiece!

One of my favourites!! This piece has always held a special place in my heart, thank you so much!!❤️

This is the first arrangement i listen that brings up all the emotion an intensity that i could only feel listening to the full orchestra

I love your videos kassia! I really love your arrangement of this piece 🤍🤍

WE ARE BREAKING OUR LEG IN KAUB WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was like the first song I learned on the piano, and I would say that you played on it better than I did. Excellent as always Kassia.

Listening to classical music is like embarking on a journey through different eras and styles. Whether it's the Baroque elegance of Bach or the Romantic expressiveness of Chopin, there's a piece for every mood and occasion.

A moving performance! Kassia truly brings out the joy of this rendition.

Possibly the simplest most beautiful piece of music ever written.

This is my favourite symphony thanks for playing iy 💕

What would we do without music?? music feels like magic!!

Amazing!! This song is very nice and you playing it makes it even BETTER! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO! 💕

at 3:06 looks like you just smash everything you can on the key. I know nothing about piano but I absolutely in love when watching people playing it. Sometimes I can feel the emotions I almost cried

Absolutely terrific! Great work Kassia. I'm a 13 year old pianist and your videos really motivate me to keep practising. Thanks!

Somehow it seems so much more complicated when you watch the hand movements. I definitely have a greater appreciation of the talent it takes to play at this level. Thank you.

This whole symphony is so long and hard that there are only a few recordings of it. Some people consider it the hardest liszt piece ever

You are very nice, congratulations. I wanted to play like you, but I can't afford to buy a piano, but in the future I can make this dream come true and start studying.

Truly a Masterpiece!!

3:19 One of the greatest clutches on the history of piano and Beethovenian Classics

Whenever you play Kassia, every video always seems so short, and I can't ever get enough! Thank you!

I would have never thought that you would play one of the hardest piano piece ever!

finally decades waiting for this song🤩🤩

リリンの生み出した文化の極み… 心に染みるぜ… ミサトさぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁん

This piece is so beautiful! I've been waiting for this. Wonderful performance by the way😊

Thank you for this arrangement and excellent interpretation. This is truly inspiring, and I wish to one day learn and master it, and perhaps even perform it during my school graduation or perhaps something else

It is insane that by the time of the ninth symphony premier Beethoven was completely deaf! Amazing performance Kassia as always! ❤

That was freaking amazing!! What a beautiful arrangement and skill. Love you always, Kassia.

You're awsome. It's my fav symphony by beethoven.

That’s a wonderful masterpiece

So happy this was chosen as EU hymn 🇪🇺

the fact that sir beethoven composed this masterpiece while he was deaf is amazing

ode the joy is my favorite haha 🥰

2:57 this part is so good

This guy is in a whole new level. Sublime as always mate!

OMG KASSIA! THIS IS EPIC. I really want to play this one. The complete movement of Liszt's arrangement is the most difficult piano piece. Thank you for uploading! :)

Ah the classic, "beginner" repertoire. And of course Liszt find a way to make it harder, and more EPICC

This is an awesome rendition, perhaps the closest only-piano piece that can give the same vibes as an orchestral rendition of Ode to Joy. And I also liked the way you skipped through certain portions, which maintained the mood. Awesome!

Это прекрасно!

I was expecting to hear a fun and enjoyable ode to joy, but what I get back was different than what I hear pass many years. It’s nostalgic

환상적이에요ㅜㅜ!!감사합니다❤

Even though I’m hearing it for the first time, it’s still giving me nostalgia. Bringing tears of joy to my eyes! 😇

This was so beautifully played, I really hope you play the entire 4th movement of the symphony in the future

Kassia you don't understand how much this upload means to me. Ive been listening to this piece for so long analyzing it. Beethoven is such a genuis

Unbelievable 😱 Thx you for it Kassia!

Ohhhh i can play this in repeat and listen to it all day ❤️. It is taht beautiful 🙏🏻. This is too good to be be true. Wow ❤️

Kassia ive waited this for so long ! It’s a masterpiece and you played it so well :))

This gave me a chill of nostalgia, happiness, and calm.

Wow, beautiful dynamics and buildup to the climax at the end. I already knew this was going to be great with the restraint in the beginning. Your arrangements and playing always are a pleasure to listen to. Can you please consider playing Rachmaninoff's piano concerto 2, movement 2, or his variation 18 rhapsody on a theme of Paganini?

I remember learning about Beethoven and listening to Ode to Joy in Grade 4... And now I've learned that in the past CoComelon (formerly known as ABC Kid's TV) took this symphony and made it into a song about solar systems... It's still on their channel

Legendary composition! 👍🏼

This is impressive .So much respect for this person is a master playing

Ficou SENSACIONAL!! Parabéns!

Man, I absolutely LOVE this. You did the great artist of the heavens proud. Incredible work, Kassia!

Since we're already doing a lot of the same pieces...collab?? 😳

Love the song! I have played the piano on and off for 45 years. Lessons for piano include ten years from age ten, then lessons for technique and music theory blah blah blah. Now someone today told me that they consider the song this song Ode To Joy to be Beethoven's best accomplishment. She is entitled to her opinion so we will leave it at that. I feel that you cannot put Beethoven's work in best to lease best. I believe each piece has an extraordinary value and musical contribution to all genres of music. I cannot say which piece I loved the most but I loved the pauses when I had to play them... 😆

Damn! Full version anytime soon?

Kassia, this is amazing! I always wait for your new videos! Your videos always are perfect, in quality, the performance, visuals and everything. Please, keep up the great work! And thank you for this wonderful playing!

Hello! Great performance I’ve recently started to learn piano and I am just now exactly halfway through clair de lune and I’m loving it so far!!! I hope to become as good as you :)

Gosh ! For some reason my mind was drawn back to going to watch "A Clockwork Orange " in the 1970's ! Definitely NOT the first recollection of hearing this mighty piece ! Thankyou Kassia .

We killing the zombies at the final part of kaub and watching Blucher dying with this one

These two hands are insanely amazing

How always Kassia giving us the best of the best, this is a masterpiece!

Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Paganini...ecc... sono davvero magnifici! Io so suonare Ode To Joy nella vita reale

Awesome! 😀 I love how it's your arrangement too. 🙂 Pretty cool you uploaded this today since I'm going to see this symphony in concert in 2 days! 😃

I can’t stop listening to this!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WE’RE NOT LETTING SAPPERS BUILD WITH THIS ONE

I really appreciate you because you play my all time favorite symphony well thank you so much

Brilliant!

2:16 love this part.

The first part of the song was one of the first songs I learnt. Brings back good memories Kassia. Thankyou.

I was waiting for you to play this piece it my childhood favourite piece and it has a special place in my heart

Feels very emotional and powerful :']

beautiful and gorgeous sound. It feels like I'm at concert hall
