look there are very few "classical canon" (romantic in this case) Grand Symphonic Works that I would go to the mat for as being powerful timeless works that escape the general calcified conservatism of the canon, but the Beethoven Symphonies are definitely top of the list. if you were to pick any measuring stick to make sure to be able to fit on a disk, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Beethoven's 9th. i had heard this story before but hadn't seen the publication linked in this post. it and the surrounding thread with some of our most beloved reverse engineers and cursed hardware people is a treat.
