    This is one of 30 houses where Ludwig van Beethoven lived in Vienna. The house is named after its original owner Baron Johann von Pasqualati. Beethoven lived in the house and two different numbers between 1804 and 1808 and between 1810 and 1815. it was here he composed the symphonies 4,5,7,and 8 and the opera Fidelio, the piano Concerto no. 4 and string quartets. The rooms he lived in on the 4th floor are now a museum containing such things as a lock of Beethoven’s hair (I would love that), a photo of the original grave site in Währing, an engraving of his deathbed and early editions of his scores. There are also paintings and busts of the composer and his patron Prince Rasumofsky. It really is a wonderful museum.

    Classical Music: Classical Music Concert at Schönbrunn Palace

    We went to a concert at Schönbrunn. It was wonderful. They played various pieces from operas such as Magical Flute, Don Giovanni etc. There was a couple singing and a ballet couple. You can buy the tickets at the information desk at the place. It feels so different to attend a concert where once Mozart has played...

    Classical Music: Musikverein & New Year Concert

  • Musikverein is the Music Society of Vienna, home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Its most famous performance is, no doubt, the New Year Concert, when they invite one of the world-famous orchestra directors and show the world how the works of the Strauss dynasty (4 of them) are to be played. While tickets are difficult to come by, you can order them - more in a special tip:)))

    If you would like to buy a ticket you don't need to go to the ticket office, you can buy them anywhere on the streets.
    We bought our tickets in front of the opera house and went to 'MUSIKVEREIN-Golden saal" to listen to music. Small pieces from Mozart and Strauss were really good. Players were wearing traditional clothes.

    Classical Music: A Walk in the Park

    Flower Clock
    by asianbelle
    As the name implies, it is the City Park. During summer, flowers of different kinds and varieties are abloom. Classical music of famous Austrian composers, whose statues can be found in the park, are being played in the afternoon.

    Really, the park is like heaven to us especially after a day's worth of walking in Vienna. Once we were seated, we didn't want to get up anymore. The music was soothing to our tired muscles, and the garden was soothing to our eyes.

    Strauss Memorial

    In the Stadtpark (city park), you can fin the Johan Strauss’ Denkmal, one of the symbols of Vienna.
    This memorial is a work of Edmund Hellmer, but it’s not the only monument in this park. There are more monuments dedicated to other Austrians: to Schubert, to Anton Bruckner, to Lehar and to Robert Stolz.
    The park itself is a must see in the capital of Austria.

    Classical Music: Strauss Kursalon Concerts

    Kursalon at night
    by rexvaughan
    These are somewhat touristy but nontheless enjoyable. They feature a 15 piece orchestra in costume and a troupe of dancers doing ballet and waltzes. The building is a lovely hall where Strauss did concerts a century ago. I can't remember the cost, but it was not unreasonable and included a glass of champagne. There is also a restaurant in the building which is not bad, reasonably priced and you can dine on the patio overlooking the park. The patio is on the right side in the photo.

    The Dancers

    What made my night at the Kursalon even more special, was that it wasn't only the wonderful music that I heard, but the extra acts that were done along with the wonderful music. For certain songs, a Sopranoist, a solo pianist, and two ballet dancers graced the floor. Each added their specialty perfectly to the accompanying music. Hearing the Blue Danube and seeing professional waltzers dance is a memory that will stay with me for life.

    The Konzert Hall

    My absolute best memory of Vienna was listening to a Mozart and Strauss konzert at the Kursalon. The Kursalon is a historic palace in the middle of Vienna, not too far of a walk from Stefansplatz.

    The konzert hall has a long and storied past, with the most notable thing being Johann Strauss performed and conducted here 150 years ago. The room where I heard the konzert was the actual room he was in! And now I was listening to his music! Awesome!
