First Viennese School

Overview

We continue with the First Viennese School. The goal is to become au courant with the lives, style, and works of these composers. Later this week, celebrate your knowledge with Quiz, Enlightenment!

Symphonies and operas were intended to fill an evening of entertainment, so even a single movement by Mozart or Beethoven can be 10 or 15 minutes, so budget listening time accordingly.

Mozart
