The Curse of the Ninth Symphony regards composers dying soon after completing their ninth symphony. It's said that after the ninth it's said that a musician is doomed to die and never make it to their tenth symphony. It's unknown why, but there is a shocking amount of classical musicians who have died before their tenth symphony was finished. Now it can take years or even decades to write nine symphonies, and some of them may just be due to old age, but there are many early deaths also. There are however alot of musicians who've made more that just nine symphonies.
Example of Musicians believed to be victims of the Ninth Curse:
- Ludwig van Beethoven (1827)
- Anton Bruckner (1896)
- Antonín Dvořák (1904)
- Gustav Mahler (1911)
- Ralph Vaughan Williams (1958)
