Epoch: Classic Country: Austria Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Detailed Information about Masses and Requiem Litanies and Vespers Smaller Sacred Works Oratorios and Cantatas Arias with Orchestra Songs Serenades and Divertimenti Concerti for Wind Instruments String Quintets Piano Sonatas Piano Variations Other Piano Works Other Chamber Music Introduction (born Salzburg, 27 January 1756; died Vienna, 5 December 1791)
The family arrived home late in 1766; nine months later they were off again, to Vienna, where hopes of having an opera by Mozart performed were frustrated by intrigues
Summer 1773 saw a further visit to Vienna, probably in the hope of securing a post; there Mozart wrote a set of string quartets and, on his return, wrote a group of symphonies including his two earliest, nos.25 in g Minor and 29 in A, in the regular repertory
Mozart was then summoned from Munich to Vienna, where the Salzburg court was in residence on the accession of a new emperor
He wanted a post at the Imperial court in Vienna, but was content to do freelance work in a city that apparently offered golden opportunities
In his early years in Vienna, Mozart built up his reputation by publishing (sonatas for piano, some with violin), by playing the piano and, in 1782, by having an opera performed: Die Entführung aus dem Serail , a German Singspiel which went far beyond the usual limits of the tradition with its long, elaborately written songs (hence Emperor Joseph II's famous observation, 'Too many notes, my dear Mozart')
Richard Strauss

He had several works given in Munich, including a symphony, when he was 17, and the next year a wind serenade in Dresden and a violin concerto in Vienna
After the violence and dissonance of the previous operas, and their harsh psychological realism, Strauss and his librettist Hofmannsthal turned to period comedy, set in the Vienna of Maria Theresa, for Der Rosenkavalier ; the score is no less rich in inner detail, but it is applied to the evocation of tenderness, nostalgia and humour, helped by sentimental Viennese waltzes
The two versions were given in 1912 and (in Vienna) 1916
Strauss had been conducting in Berlin, the court and opera orchestras, since 1908; in 1919 he took up a post as joint director of the Vienna Staatsoper, where his latest collaboration with Hofmannsthal, Die Frau ohne Schatten , was given that year: a work embodying much symbolism and psychology, opulently but finely scored, and regarded by some as one of Strauss's noblest achievements
But he was frustrated at being unable to work with his Jewish librettist, Stefan Zweig (Hofmannsthal had been part-Jewish), and he protected his Jewish daughter-in-law; during the war years, when he mainly lived in Vienna, he and the Nazi authorities lived in no more than mutual toleration
Island of Freedom - Johannes Brahms
Life and works of the composer with special emphasis on his movement toward
absolute music during his latter years.
After Brahms was rejected for a post as conductor in Hamburg in 1862, he visited Vienna and later (1868) made his home there
The compositions written before his first visit to Vienna include several piano works--of which the 'Edward' ballade is the most famous--the two serenades for orchestra, his first piano concerto, and the Piano Trio in B Major
Brahms's work as a choral conductor in Vienna prepared him for the composition of A German Requiem , based on biblical texts rather than on the Roman Catholic requiem mass; it was first performed on Good Friday (April 10), 1868, in the cathedral of Bremen
Brahms conducted the orchestra of the Society of the Friends of Music in Vienna from 1872 to 1875, after which he devoted himself entirely to composition
These works were published after Brahms died in Vienna on April 3, 1897

Born: Bonn, 16 December 1770 Died: Vienna, 26 March 1827 Without doubt, one of the true greats
(Beethoven was primarily a pianist, having earned his living for a while in Vienna from performing, but did also play the viola)
Born: Hamburg, 7 May 1833 Died: Vienna, 3 April 1897 A prominent Romantic composer, (in)famous in his day for looking back to earlier musical styles (such as those of Beethoven, Mozart and Bach) rather than following the trend towards the styles of Wagner and Liszt
Mahler, Gustav Born: Kalist (Austria), 7 July 1860 Died: Vienna, 18 May 1911 Much of Mahler’s early career was dominated by his job as conductor of the Vienna Opera
Born: Salzburg, 27 January 1756 Died: Vienna, 5 December 1791 Along with, one of the first classical composers
Born: Vienna, 31 January 1797 Died: Vienna, 19 November 1828 Famous song composer
Schubert died just a year after Beethoven, and it was thought quite tragic that Vienna should lose two great composers so close upon each other’s heels

Its success induced him to go to Vienna where, for a while, he found moderate favour with the nobility
He spent the last ten years of his life in precarious independence in Vienna, worsened by his ill-advised marriage to the frivolous singer Costanze Weber
These did not effect his music, but in the end they destroyed him physically; he became seriously ill and died a pauper early in the morning on 5th December: he was buried in a common, unmarked grave in Vienna
In Vienna his first success came with the German opera or Singspiel Die Entfuehrung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio), a work on a Turkish theme, staged at the Burgtheater in 1782
(5'04'') Così fan tutte (All Women Behave Alike) was staged briefly in Vienna in 1790, its run curtailed by the death of the Emperor
La clemenza di Tito (The Clemency of Titus) was written for the coronation of the new Emperor in Prague in 1791, no such commission having been granted Mozart in Vienna

Beethoven wrote a number of sets of Minuets, German Dances and Contredanses, ending with the so-called Moedlinger Dances, written for performers at a neighbouring inn during a summer holiday outside Vienna

By the early 30s, Korngold was firmly on the map as a classical composer of note with a number of operas in the grand Wagnerian style established in the repertoire, and Korngold himself was professor at the Vienna State Academy of Music
After World War II, Korngold returned to Vienna and was to incorporate some music from his films (e.g
