Database on musical life in Vienna around 1800
As part of the project «Concert Life in Vienna 1780–1830,» a database has been created of all musical performances that took place in the European music metropolis at that time.
Experts in Berlin and a team from the Institute of Musicology at the University of Vienna have examined contemporary reports from newspapers, music magazines, and private diaries, and analyzed etchings, engravings, floor plans, and blueprints of concert halls. In the process, they also discovered music events that were previously unknown.
As part of the project «Concert Life in Vienna 1780–1830,» funded by the German Research Foundation, a database of all musical performances that took place in the European music metropolis at that time has been created. In addition to texts and historical images, it also contains 3D models of the individual performance venues.
