This symphony was not meant to include a vocal movement. Bethoven had worked out a completely instrumental fourth movement, but threw it out and it later became the finale for the Opus 132 String Quartet in A Minor. This symphoy took more time to compose and we know this by his sketches. He sketched constantly, and took them whenever he moved, which was quite often.
The earliest conceived idea of Symphony 9 was the idea to set Schiller's Ode to Joy to music.
