Austria
Austria was the undoubted queen of the musical world from the Classical period until the early 20th century. Austria, that produced Mozart1st movement (Allegro vivace) from Symphony No. 41 in C, K.551 'Jupiter' - Mozart, (who was born in SalzburgSalzburg), Viennese born Schubert'Die Forelle' (The Trout), Op.32 (D550) - Schubert and revolutionary SchönbergAtonal music - Schönberg, was the center for many talented performers and composers, being an empire that ruled a big part of Europe at its time, and it saw in the development of arts, a blessed duty.
Vienna's centrality in the musical world of the Romantic period caused the greatest of the composers, among whom are BrahmsHungarian Dance No.5 - Johannes BrahmsSee Brahms's memorial room in Haydn's house in Vienna, Haydn1st movement from Symphony No.7 'Midi' - Haydn and LisztLiebestraume No.3 - Liszt, to immigrate into the city. The Strauss family that ruled the arena of Viennese dancing orchestras, strengthened the waltzThe 'Blue Danube' Waltz - Johann Strauss Jr. as one of the most popular dances in the Western world. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, notoriously known for its male chauvinism and racism (it did not accept any women or non-white musicians until very recently), is considered one of the best orchestras in the world to this very day, and the "Vienna Boy's Choir" is most valued children's choir.


Dances originated in this country:
WaltzValse in C#m, Op.64 No.2 - Chopin - a 3/4 dance, popular since the late 19th century. Johann Strauss Junior was the greatest of the waltz writers.
