His 9th
Beethoven's last symphony, the 9th, was also known as The Chorale. It was the first time any composer had scored a symphony for voice as well as instruments.
Beethoven started this work in 1818 and it was completed in 1824. Beethoven's sketchbooks are also showing that the first bits of material that appeared in the symphony were written in 1811. This symphony is also the last symphony beethoven composed.
Beethoven's last symphony was his Symphony no. 9 in d minor (Op. 125), known as the "Choral" Symphony. However, the final--and most famous--movement of this work is known as the "Ode to Joy."
The name of the full symphony is "Choral." The "Ode to Joy" was a poem Beethoven used as text in the last movement.
