Beethoven, Ninth Symphony, European Anthem, universal brotherhoodAbstract
This article proposes one more solution to solve the dilemma posed by Beethoven in his Ninth Symphony, through the words he added to Schiller's text: “O Freunde, nicht diese Töne! Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen, und freudenvollere”. It outlines the trajectory followed by Pan-europeanism from the Vienna Congress until the adoption of the Freudetheme as the European Anthem as well as it analyzes other pieces of the symphony that appeal to universal brotherhood.
