Composer Joseph Haydn
The city of Mozart – Salzburg
Salzburg is like a holy name to a lot of people who loves music as it is the birthplace of Mozart
who is great composer in 18 century. It is surprised to know that Salzburg enjoys a higher
tourist-per-capita ratio even than Venice or Florence.
Salzburg is located in the central of Austria, on the banks of the Salzach River, at the northern
boundary of the Alps. Therefore, the climate here is cold and humid. However, never mind,
there is music to keep you warm.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart is the most influential composer during 1750 to 1820 which is called ‘the Classical era’.
His impact is endurable and profound. Beethoven’s early compositions were completed in the
shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote that “posterity will not see such a talent again in
100 years.
Mozart’s talent had been shown in his early childhood in Salzburg. He began to write songs
at five years old when he was already good at keyboard and violin and performed in front of
European royalty. During years, he travelled and created a lot of works. Later, in 1781, he
sought for a better development in his career and went to the capital city Vienna. In Vienna, he
achieved fame but struggled to survive due to lack of financial support. It is still a mystery of
this talent’s early death at the age of 35 years old, which is such a big pity to the musical world.
During his entire life, he has composed around 600 pieces of works, among which the most
well-known and recognized are pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic,
and choral music.
The Sound of Music
Besides Mozart, Salzburg also has connection with ‘the sound of music’, one of the world’s most
popular and famous musicals.
Actually, the city of Salzburg was the settings for part of ‘the sound of music’ which
showed some famous landmark in Salzburg. When you are walking along the Salzach
River, you may find it is hard not to sing ‘Do-Re-Mi’ and think of the scenes in the movie.
Summer Special

Best places for hiking could be: Mount Untersberg – Mount Gaisberg – Glasenbach Klamm -

market.
