| There is no other city in the world where
music is so much a part of its history as well as its present. The imperial
court was the natural focus of power. It was a matter of pride and aristocratic
self-esteem to employ only the best musicians. For the artists, the court and
the nobility offered unlimited opportunities and often patronage. It is
therefore not surprising that Vienna, like no other city, can pride itself on
having had so many musicians of world renown composing, conducting and
performing in Vienna. Discover Vienna’s fabulous musical legacy. Follow us
in the footsteps of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, to name but a few, and see
the cornerstones of Vienna’s musical life today. |
