You have to remember that in 1812 Ludwig played his last piano piece in public. By 1819, all his conversations had to be written. The 9th symphony premier was held on May 7, 1824 at Kärntnertortheater in Vienna. The noted event was that Beethoven was completely deaf. That performance was officially directed by Michael Umlauf but Ludwig shared the stage with him. As he turned the pages, he beat the tempos. At the end, Michael had to turn Ludwig around because he couldn't hear the crow applauding.
