      Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

      Vienna, Part I. A two-week exploration of the rich culture of the great musical capital commonly referred to as the City of Music. Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johannes Brahms all made their way to Vienna, where they developed and deepened their art. And who could forget Franz Schubert, who was born in Vienna! And, of course, this is the city of the waltz with Johann Strauss Jr. and Joseph Lanner.
