Period: to
Classical Music in Nineteenth-Century Vienna. In the nineteenth century Vienna continued to consolidate its reputation as the ‘city of music’.
It was – or became – home to a host of well-known composers: amongst those born in Vienna were Franz Schubert and Johann Strauss I and II (father and son), while Ludwig van Beethoven was just one of the many non-Viennese composers who settled in the Habsburg capital. In parallel with the public music world, there also developed a great love of domestic music-making or ‘Hausmusik’. With the rise of the bourgeoisie the imperial house lost its role as the foremost patron of cultural life. -
