I have a really hard time disagreeing with Chris. The 9th - in it's entirety - is truly one of the greatest musical works of all time. Beethoven was a master at transitions. His ability to take you from one movement to the next (or one 'emotional chapter' to the next) was sublime but you can only appreciate it when you hear the work in one sitting. In the 9th, listen to the 2nd to the 3rd & the 3rd to the 4th. In the 5th symphony my fav is the 2nd to the 3rd transition.
It makes Mozart's transitions in his symphonies - and most other composers - seem choppy. Even though Mozart always had every note in it's perfect place . . .
