Its highlights include st stephens cathedral and the imperial palace. Im in vienna today for a very special reason and 2020 music lovers around the world are celebrating the 250th anniversary of loopy from beethovens birth. Who was born and born but spent most of his life in vienna. He lived here for over 3 decades and wrote his masterpieces today i want to see how visible loopy from beethoven still is in vienna what makes the city so attractive to musician. And why was beethoven so restless i mean during his time here he moved on average once a year as you can see have a lot of questions that need answering one day in vienna following the footsteps of the right. Off course we will also give you an overview of the sights to see in vienna. And to kill in their respect for which the city is famous. In addition we will show you how big this being honored in his native. One of the top addresses for music lovers in vienna its the sound museum how still music its all about sounds and noises and the exhibition starts in the stairwell. Was of a clown type but our sound staircase which we call stair play can do more than make music. But i follow you. Come on you play songs you hear you can play one of the Vienna Philharmonic museum is also located here the famous all construct was founded in these rooms. And here in the instrument we look at groups of instruments and for areas of course we show people real instruments and want visitors to learn something about the groups they belong to the instrument that can beat the big drum to. Go. On its own so you hear something now and then give it a try with only. You can feel the sound waves which produce warmth to this is the Worlds Largest animal high drama by the way. Heres a really great interactive installations of the walt dice game was also developed here in house. The consumer business will create their own waltz melody by rolling virtual dice thats something you dont see every day. So lets see how well you do play too fast and you grab it like this right now and then you roll the die. Youll see or rather hear that the waltz melody is nice ready. We did that just. An entire floor of the sound museum is dedicated to the famous composers who worked in vienna. Now were 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 the 2 of them also moved here when he was 22. Why was he here in vienna why were so many musicians and composers attracted to. 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 the things its famous ring road thats the recommendation from. As head concierge at the Hotel Imperial he knows what visitors want to see in. Just over 5 kilometers long and 60 meters wide. Is divided into 9 sections each with its own name. The ring road in circles the city is historical center. It also runs past the vienna state opera one of the worlds most prestigious opera houses. Just because they did 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. For the. Many buildings here speak of the past the. Book palace today its the official residence of the austrian president. The Art History Museum is another important monument. Built in austria was part of an empire it contains treasures from 7 different millennia. As a people. Ascending the staircase in the Art History Museum is a great experience every time the magnificence to the left and right of the stairs over here but the real treasure is up above when you turn around. And taken these wonderful paintings by gustav glimmered i mean theyre unique works of art and think i think. The original ring road was built with medieval military force if occasion this one student bus in 57. Or did it to be given a complete lack of that the boulevard became construction project so the i mean i think that the things tosser has changed a lot over the centuries aristocrats in the middle classes used to stroll about here then it became excessive bill to everyone. Now theres lots of traffic but nice bike paths too and its still a great place to walk so. This city park was the 1st of many public parks to be built along the things more than 150 years ago. But the city park is my favorite part of the thing. 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. 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 the 2 of them suffered from gastric complaints as well as for. Hearing loss he visited the spa town of heiling 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 to have museum. Shows me around the rooms the beatles lived in the summer of 18 all too. 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 beat 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 from the compulsive falter he gets 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 believe. 4 days later he discovered that his cook had wrapped the butter with the sheet music for the kids. And of 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 our we 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. Inhaling it it is the maze highly constat 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 this unbearable 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 behavior. In december 17th 70 days heaven was born into a musical family and his grandfather was the court music director his father was a singer and me. Teacher. Tomorrow the 250th anniversary of his birth a new permanent exhibition has opened in the house where little 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 enlightenment. South of the fair is already apparent how the french revolution impacts on beethovens life here 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. Other fast. At the base have inhouse visitors can see the instruments the composer played. Numerous portraits testified to the fact that beethoven was already an icon in his own lifetime yet the differing portrayals underline the composers multifaceted nature. This is a portrait of a Young Beethoven circa 1900 he was around 30 years old and gets a completely different image than the one we normally have of we think of beethoven as an old deaf misanthrope who withdrew from society. But here he looks at us quite openly. Composers who came before him he doesnt wear a wig at some of his republican hairstyle signals a new era is portrayed by horniman is well suited to helping us find a new understanding a new approach to beethoven. Himself in. One room in the bass heavily house is devoted to the composers every day life and work. Permanent exhibition relies on a few items that speak volumes. It was important for us to show off these Historic House which is mainly in its original condition to its best advantage. Of everyday objects though important ones like the desk. Or his walking stick. Staged in such a way that you realize how vital they are to beethovens life. So you can really see that in this vitrine which only contains a goose quill. It helps us realize that all the music of beethoven wrote went through a goose quill and is now preserved all of eternity. You can also follow footsteps by taking a walking tour organized by the citizens association. As many buildings from beethovens day no longer exist theyve set up. 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 thats their garden was their meeting place. It was run by a widow widow who also had a very attractive daughter called bet. Back then all the men in bonn were attracted to her like moths to a flame. Going to. 16 stops on the base have into it in and around. Uttering the composers memory. Others skip the horrid today 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 so far whenever shes and gone she always goes to the beethoven house because she says my music would be inconceivable without beethoven much so beethovens really contemporary with her heart. Back in vienna here be 2 of them celebrated his 1st great successes as a composer for example in its pelisse were b. 2 of the 3rd symphony. Was hurt 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 thats nice 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. 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 that he who worked with us he mocked so it would become why did the 2 of them perform the hugo we got here for the 1st time. After 1804 an opera by sally area was performed here and afterwards to rehearsals took place for the ever. And the triple concerto the bills prove that come on they show that in addition to the musicians for the saudi area opera 3rd french horn player was needed. And only one beethoven symphony features a 3rd french horn so thats the indication. From the people when pete this one thing that is so called among the fleas went by so you know how the people reacted to the are there any records from the time. Theres evidence that the road was considered a revolutionary work. People must have been pretty astonished because in the symphony was something completely new in terms of its instrumentation power and vitality that it was complete now is. Stands for music theatre art and cuisine no travel programme about the city would be complete without it so curtains for wienerschnitzel and the thought.
