Music collection sets a precedent
The Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde and its house, the Musikverein, have written music history: in an exchange with Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms was “Artistic Director”, Anton Bruckner taught, Gustav Mahler conducted, and Johann Strauss held his concerts here. Archive director Johannes Prominczel takes school classes on a journey through the past using original music manuscripts and unique objects from one of the world’s most important music collections
