An entire floor of the sound museum is dedicated to the famous composers who work in vienna. Now are coming to the floor of the grand masters that is the masters of viennese Classical Music and here we have holograms of the composers yosef haydn of comedy as Mozart Beethoven and france to bat. Many important composers came to vienna over the centuries beatles and also moved here when he was 22. Why was he here in vienna why were so many musicians and composers attracted to vienna. Or beethoven composers like haydn and mozart were role models. Because after realizing just how great they were purposely chose to come to vienna. Of course much more than just the metropolis for music so its time for a brief overview of austrias capital. Some 1900000. 00 people live in vienna and each year the city welcomes around 7500000. 00 visitors that makes the austrian capital one of the most popular destinations in europe. You get. To experience what vienna has to offer just follow. Its famous ring road thats the recommendation from. As head concierge at the Hotel Imperial he knows what visitors want to see you. Just over 5 kilometers long and 60 metres wide. Is divided into 9 sections each with its own name. The ring road encircles the citys historical center. It also runs past the vienna state opera one of the worlds most prestigious opera houses. Just because that is probably the most famous building on the. Evening you can see the audience coming here not just in cars but also on foot its nice to watch that even if youre not going to the opera its a kind of theater in itself. Many buildings here speak of the past the. Palace today its the official residence of the president. The Art History Museum is another important monument. Built when austria was part of an empire it contains treasures from 7 different millennia. Of ascending the staircase in the Art History Museum is a great experience every time the magnificence to the left and right of the stairs here over here but the real treasure is up above when you turn around. Around and taken these wonderful paintings by Gustav Clement i mean theyre unique works of art and think theyre actually the original ring road was built with a medieval military force if a case of this one stood by us in 57. Or did it to be given a complete lack of the boulevard became biggest construction project of the early knowing that the thing has changed a lot over the centuries aristocrats and the middle classes used to stroll about here then it became accessible to everyone. Now theres lots of traffic but nice bike paths too and its still a great place to walk so yeah. It is city park was the 1st public parks to be built along the thing more than 150 years ago. But the city park is my favorite part of the thing. If you can observe all kinds of people here. In the theater when you can see everyone from top managers to punks to japanese tourists. Everyone comes here. Some say the things that has made what it is today. Following loopy from beethovens footsteps in vienna as ive already mentioned the 2 of them was a rather restless guy he often moved in vienna and he even moved in and out of the apartment in the merc of us twice several times the house belonged to one of the talking patrons baron past. His landlord remained loyal to him even when beatle moved elsewhere the baron that not rent out the apartment but kept it so that the musician could return. Since b. 2 of them suffered from gastric complaints as well. From hearing loss he visited the spa town of highly can start on the outskirts of vienna and hopeful for a cure he often went for a walk in this park. The building in the nearby houses viennas be told museum. Shows me around the rooms would be to have lived in in the summer of 18 or 2. It was quite unsettled he often moved why was that. He wasnt an easy tenant as his deafness progressed he composed louder and louder slamming the piano with his hand but he banged on the walls to be time and sang loudly. And if he got to composing he had a funny habit of taking a pail of water and dumping it over his head. Even with todays flooring that would be problematic back then the floor had even more cracks for the water to run down so his neighbors got moldy walls he. Didnt word get around among landlords here in vienna. Absolutely he always had problems finding lodgings. Thats how he used to live be too often the composer fault or. Its an attempt to show what his apartment could have looked like the harder of hearing he grew the more chaotic his life became. This valuable string instrument from a princely nowicki is lying around. Here or scraps of food and sheet music. For instance while working on the mrs sullivan is he couldnt find the kiddie i. Believed. Days later he discovered that his cook had wrapped the butter with the sheet music for the. Course that was awful for him he needed those sheets by contrast his teacher and role model haydn was very orderly so his music lies neatly on the piano beethoven was slovenly when it came to how he dressed and how he kept his house listening to house on. Testament became famous in it the composer describes his desperate situation his fears about becoming deaf and his isolation. That islam is highly conserved at a testament has also a justification he writes about the incurable state of his ears made worse by misguided doctors he came here hoping to be healed. He was also suffering from a broken heart. But in 1802 he came to highly can start to be cured. So this letter is a justification of why hes so withdrawn doesnt socialize much anymore and has become such a loner its because hes uncomfortable saying speak up i cant hear you as a musician he finds the sun bearable and he must also deal with jealous folks and enemies hes made due to his difficult temperament so this letter attempts to correct his image a bit too late. By the way. Born here in vienna but in germany thats where he lived 20 years and thats where he took his 1st steps as a musician and composer and of course the people of are also very proud of their big. In december 17th 76 when beethoven was born into a musical family in poland his grandfather was the chord music director his father was a singer and music teacher. To mark the 250th anniversary of his birth a new permanent exhibition has opened in the house where literate from beethoven was born. Just a few years before the french revolution a spirit of change was in the air. His family supported Young Beethovens musical talent he lived various instruments and worked as an organist and piano teacher and he took an interest in the ideas of the of life and. Of the various already apparent are the french revolution men packed on beethovens life. Ok we have this view of the french marching in and occupying the rhineland. Here a liberty pole is set up at the Market Square in bonn so beethoven was caught up in these changing times from the vendor for the past when at the base have announced this it is can see the instruments that compose the play. Portraits testified to the fact that beethoven was already an icon in his lifetime yet the differing portrayals underline the composers multifaceted nature. Import this is a portrait of a Young Beethoven circa 1900 he was around 30 years old its a completely different image than the one we normally happen we think of beethoven as an old deaf misanthrope who withdrew from society. But here he looks at us quite openly and unlike composers who came before him he doesnt wear a wig at some of his republican hands down signals a new era in this portrayed by horniman is well suited to helping us find a new understanding a new approach to beethoven. In. One room in the bass heavily house is devoted to the compose this everyday life and work. Permanent exhibition relies on a few items that speak volumes. Because it was important for us to show off that its Historic House which is mainly in its original condition to its best advantage and see a small selection of everyday objects though important ones like the desk he worked at. Or his Walking Stick or i would design that there staged in such a way that you realise how vital they are to beethovens life. You can really see that in this vitrine which only contains a goose quill and. It helps us realise that all the music that beethoven wrote went through a goose quill. And is now preserved in one of eternity. You can also follow in base heavens footsteps and by taking a walking tour organized by the citizens for bass heavens association. Many buildings from heaven stay no longer exist theyve set up in 5 palace. Times. This pillar shows where the cotton once stood it was beethovens favorite and a center for discussion about the enlightenment. This was before the french revolution and american independence. Here there was a circle of musicians who were very involved in these political discussions and that said gotten was their meeting place. At the front there is it was run by a widow widow cossack who also had a very attractive daughter called bet that back then all the men in bonn were attracted to her like moths to a flame. To. Go into. 16 stops on the base have into it in and around the. First step on the ice underling the composers literary is a neighbor of the lost. Causes the hordes a day theres almost no music that doesnt draw on beethoven that even includes rock music when you listen to someone like the great punk icon patti smith whenever shes in bonn she always goes to the beethoven house because she says my music would be inconceivable without beethoven but so beethovens really contemporary. Back in vienna here in celebrated his 1st great successes as a composer for example in. 3rd symphony. Was heard for the 1st time. The prince of luck of its was an important patron for beatles and for other composers today his palace houses the theatre museum. I think whats so special about this whole theres this and its simply part of musical history. I mean years took place here so did debuts dress rehearsals in the presence of beethoven and operas from the prince of look of its was crazy about music and theater so he knew what kind of people to bring here and just what needed to be done. With us you can walk to so it would become why did b 2 of them perform the youve always got here for the 1st time. Often good for you know for an opera by sally area was performed here and afterwards to rehearsals took place. And the triple concerto the bills prove that come on they show that in addition to the musicians for the saudi area opera a 3rd french horn player was needed. And only one beethoven symphony features a 3rd french horn so thats the indication and im from the people when put this one thing in the socalled amount of fleece and when i see you know how the people reacted to the avoid are there any records from the time. Its instrumentation power and vitality by that it was complete now is. Stands for music theatre art and cuisine no travel program about the city would be complete without it so curtains for wienerschnitzel and i thought it.
