Vienna is a beautiful old city on the river Danube in the centre of
Europe. It's the capital city of Austria and the centre of European
classical music. In the eighteenth century a lot of musicians came to
study and work in Vienna.
In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann
Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His
dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann
Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.
Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in
Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but
also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave
concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of
music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only
thirty-five. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.
