Vienna is the city of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who was a composer of the Classical Era. He composed over six hundred works. He was born in Salzburg but lived, died and was buried in Vienna.
It was nice to see his house and visit a certain cafeteria where took place one of his concerts. There is a very nice statue of Mozart that is close to the City Hall of Vienna.
Johann Strauss is other name that is everywhere in Vienna. He was an Austrian composer as well and composed the famous "The Blue Danube".
There is a huge monument of Strauss in a park very close to the centre of Vienna.
Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. Although he was born in Bonn, he moved to Vienna. He continued to compose, even after he was completely deaf. This amazes me!
Last year I went to Bonn and visited his home. Bonn was the capital of Germany before Berlin and has a beautiful and important University. Although, Bonn is Beethoven’s city, he died and was buried in Vienna as well.
