Culture and Music Austrian
culture has been influenced by its past and present
people: Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, and Bohemia. Music was
something very important in Austria in its history.
Vienna's status began its rise as a cultural center in
the early 16th century, and was focused around
instruments including the lute. There were Vienna Opera
house and Vienna Opera Ball when people could listen and
watch opera they liked. The Vienna State Opera, in
German called Staatsoper, is still one of the most
important opera companies in the world. The
folk music was also well-known as well as the pop music
called Austropop. The
most popular form of modern Austrian folk music is
Viennese Schrammelmusik, which is played with an
accordion and a double-necked guitar. |
