Description: The image of Vienna as a musical city is a familiar one. This book explores the history of music in Vienna, focussing on three different epochs, 1700, 1800 and 1900.
Review Quotes: As a sourcebook on cultural background and on such figures as patrons, publishers and performers who flit through the background of the lives of the great Vienna-based composers, this study is invaluable.-- "BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE"
