music plays a big role in the city music has brought you here today. i'm in vienna the capital of austria there story old town is a unesco world heritage site. it's highlights include st stephen's cathedral and the imperial palace. i'm in vienna today for a very special reason and 2020 music lovers around the world are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the from beatle vince birth. he 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 this. cities so

attractive to musicians and why was the beatles in 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 great battle over. off course we will also give you an overview of the sites to see in vienna. and to kill in their respect for which the city is famous. in addition we will show you how big is being honored in his native. one of the top addresses for music lovers in vienna is the sound museum house still music it's all about the sounds and noises and the exhibition starts in the stairwell. was

a clunk there but our sound staircase which we call stair play can do more than make music. for you. when you play a song you hear you can play one of the vienna philharmonic museum is also located here the famous was found in these rooms. here in the instrument we look at groups of instruments and for areas of course we show people real instruments and want to visitors to learn something about the groups they belong to. they can beat the big drum 2. 000. s. 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 world's largest animal hide drum by the way. here's

a really great interactive installations of the waltz dice game was also developed here in the house. the create their own waltz melody by rolling virtual dice that's something you don't see every day. ya so let's see how well you do play too fast and you grab it like this right and then you roll the dice. you'll 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. and our coming to the floor of the grand masters that is the masters of viennese classical music 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. involved 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 you purposely chose to come to vienna. of course much more than just the metropolis for music so it's time for a brief overview of 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. to experience what vienna has to offer just follow that. its famous ring road that's the recommendation from. as head concierge at the hotel imperial he knows what visitors want to see. 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 world's 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 it's nice to watch that even if you're not going to the opera it's a kind of theater in itself. many buildings here speak of the past the. book palace today it's the official residence of the president. the art history museum is another important monument. built in austria was part of an empire it contains treasures from 7 different millennia. 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. around and taken these wonderful paintings by gustaf clement i mean they're unique works of art and think i think you. bring red was filled with medieval military force if occasion

this one stand by us in a scene 57. audited to be given a complete lack of that. became the biggest construction project of the i mean i think that the thing has changed a lot over the centuries aristocrats and the middle classes used to stroll about here then it became excessive bill to everyone. now there's lots of traffic but nice bike paths too and it's still a great place to walk so yeah. the vienna 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. 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 vienna what it is today. following loopy from beethoven's footsteps in vienna as i've 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. his landlord remained loyal to him even when beatles 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. from hearing loss he visited the spa town of haile 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 v.s.b. 2 of museum. shows me around the rooms that beatles lived in in the summer of 18 or 2. it was quite unsettled he often moved why was that. he wasn't 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 today's 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. didn't word get around among landlords here in vienna. absolutely he always had problems finding lodgings. that's how he used to live be too often the composer forder. it's 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 couldn't find the kiddie i. believed. days later he discovered that his cook had wrapped the butter with the sheet music for the kid. of course that was awful for him he needed it though she

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 but then again house on the. beatles and testament became famous in it the composer describes his desperate situation his fears about becoming deaf and his isolation. that is the means highly conserved at a testament is 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 he's so withdrawn doesn't socialize much anymore and has become such a loner it's because he's uncomfortable saying speak up i can't hear you as

a musician he finds the sun bearable and he must also deal with jealous folks and enemies he's made due to his difficult temperament so this letter attempts to correct his image a bit. by the way. born here in vienna but in germany that's where he lived 20 years and that's where he took his 1st steps as a musician and composer and of course the people of are also very proud of their. in december 1770 look beethoven was born into a musical family in 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 beethoven's musical talent he lived various instruments and worked as an organist and piano teacher and he took an interest in the ideas of the able isom and. the various already apparent are the french revolution men packed on beethoven's life. 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 their fast with the beethoven house visitors can see the instruments the composer played. the race portraits testified to the fact that they haven't was already an icon in his lifetime yet the differing portrayals underlined the composer's multifaceted nature. this is a portrait of

a young beethoven circa 1900 he was around 30 years old it's 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 at night composers who came before him he doesn't wear a wig at some of his republican has 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 the bass heavily house is devoted to the composer this everyday life and work. permanent exhibition relies on a few items that speak volumes. it was important for us to show off his 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. with these images staged in such a way that you realise how vital they are to beethoven's 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 him based heavens footsteps and by taking a walking tour organized by the citizens for bass heaven's association. has many buildings from beethoven's day no longer exist they've set up in 5 pages.

this pillar shows where that got in one stood it was a beethoven's 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 koch 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. go into. there are 16 stops on the base have into it and a round. for stefan eyes or uttering the composer's memory is a neighbor of the last. day there's almost no music that doesn't draw on beethoven that even includes rock music when you listen to someone like the great

punk icon patti smith whenever she's and gone she always goes to the beethoven house because she says my music would be inconceivable without beethoven was so beethoven's really contemporary. back in vienna hear beatles and celebrated his 1st great successes as a composer for example in the. 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 what's so special about this whole. it's simply part of musical history she

. took place here so did debuts dress rehearsals in the presence of beethoven and operas. the prince of luck of it's 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 here good luck to sort would become why did b 2 of them perform the avoid here for the 1st time. after 1804 an opera by sally area was performed here and afterwards 2 rehearsals took place. and the triple concerto the bills prove that. they showed that in addition to the musicians for the sound the area opera 3rd french horn player was needed. and only one beethoven symphony features a 3rd french horn so that's the indication from the beat the one put this one thing

in the so called amount of fleece went by so you know how the people reacted to the are there any records from the time. there's 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 by that it was complete noise. stands for music theatre art and cuisine no travel programme about the city would be complete without it so curtains for wienerschnitzel and the hot author. defeated villa restaurant is one of the city's best known addresses for. head chef marcus bobo knows the secret. lies in the preparation. of the 1st you can't the maids and then tenderize it carefully. extremely delicate and
