Vienna that time was a marvelous place for young musicians to go to. It was always been a city of pleasure to frivolity right back to the middle ages.

The city was the most crowded city in Europe that time. It had a population of probably around a quarter of million. That's 25 times the size of Bonn. And its top society there would be endless balls, and then musical concerts. And then for ordinary people in the streets would be juggling acrobats, street music, puppeteers. But there was another side to it. That someone describe this city of frivolity but despairing frivolity.

The rumors of Europe were terrified the French revolution would spread. In Vienna the Emperor tightens censorship and gives extra powers to secret police. The instrumental music, the most abstract and least censorable of the arts, flourished.

I think it was recognized from the beginning the extend to which Beethoven, what's within the whole influence of Mozart and of course Hyden. But I think it would shot him from the beginning what he was doing to that and people really hated it. I mean there is no question about that the fact that from the beginning Beethoven's style of playing the piano and he started of composing was repellent. Comments such as Beethoven's musical is harebrained, that it was bizarre, it that is was overly complex that it jolted the listener out of transport all of these comments came from musicians. The opening saves extending the true.

As a kind of highness quality a mean even that is sort of more humorous than Hyden slightly more rough than Hyden. I would do but I no a little costive than Hyden. But it still has Hyden thing. But later in the piece. I mean all that was a base that keep going up. That's real Beethoven trick that through of the middle years already using when his quite young. And this is tremendous surge of energy that you get in the. And this was something that people already complained about in Beethoven this kind of violence that he was doing.
