Vienna impression

27. Vienna-a fairy in the dust under music

The romance of behavior is only superficial romance, and the real romance comes from the depths of the soul. Vienna, a city with music as its soul, seems to be filled with a noble breath in the air, reminding you of the whole of your life.

On the map of Europe, the majestic Alps are like a huge lobster marching eastward, and Vienna is like a treasure on the front of the lobster, snuggling up to the colorful Danube and lingering with the heroic Vienna forest. As the center of Europe and the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and today's Austria, Vienna is not only the holy city of world classical music, but also an outstanding western cultural city. For more than 600 years, Vienna has been the center of Habsburg royal rule.

This ancient dynasty left many magnificent buildings and places of interest, such as Liquan Palace, Bervid Gong Yue, Fort Fife Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral. Because the rulers of Vienna love music, many world-famous musicians, such as Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert and Mozart, have gathered here. Vienna is also the birthplace of johann strauss and his son "The King of Waltz". Their works are played in the annual New Year Concert and broadcast to the world. All these factors make Vienna a holy place for classical music lovers. Practitioners of classical music regard it as their greatest wish to go to Vienna for gilding or performing.

The whole city is like a fairy floating in the dust under music. When people step into it, it seems that the whole city will have music, accompanied by melodious movements such as The Story of Vienna Forest and The Blue Danube, which makes people want to find someone to dance with.

Vienna's magnificent classical architecture includes world-class concert halls, opera houses and theaters, world-class museums, cafes and pubs with strong local characteristics, and it is also a paradise for shoppers. On the north and south banks of the Danube, the baroque old city and the new area of modern architecture complement each other; Inside and outside Vienna, tradition and fashion complement each other.

Vienna ranks second in the list of the most livable cities in the world, and Vancouver, Canada ranks first. However, Vienna is unique in terms of artistic and cultural tourism. It is often said that music can easily arouse people's deep feelings. Stopping on the streets of Vienna, a city full of jumping notes, it is easier for people to fall in love defenseless. The ups and downs of families that have been entangled for hundreds of years, retro and innovative, conservative and revolutionary alternately shaped today's Vienna. Baroque's splendor and dignity, the waltz era known as "Bikemiah", retro, modern art and so on all make Vienna exude a sense of beauty intertwined with ancient and modern.

If every grass and tree in Paris has the aura of Hugo and Balzac, then every step in Vienna can step on the notes of Shanghai and Strauss.

Vienna is an unforgettable city. Of course, this does not mean that the excitement of visiting St. Stephen's Cathedral, Ring Road and Schembrong Palace will be strongly preserved, but that after returning home, Vienna will be recalled "suddenly", "accidentally" and "vigorously" in daily life. Vienna is deeply engraved in people's hearts.

In Vienna, cafes with strong cultural and artistic flavor are definitely the "temperament". There is music, very classical, warm and romantic lighting, and there is absolutely no noise and impetuousness in the beer house. Vulgar people sitting in cafes in Vienna also feel that they are literati, and the gifts of European upper class will be self-taught.

-"Austrian cuisine as famous as art"

The architectural sculptures in Vienna are so beautiful that I can't imagine that they are all carved from that cold and hard stone. It's really fascinating, and only those statues in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China can match it.

Vienna with fairy tale music

A friend of mine traveled to Vienna five years ago and brought back a map provided by the local tourist information center. Five years later, he gave me the map, hoping to help me. On the night I arrived in Vienna, I found a big stack of maps exactly the same as five years ago in the tourist information center. In the past five years, the information on the map is the same, as are the shops that promote sales, and even the advertisements on the map. Old, this is the impression of Vienna.

The "old" in Vienna is actually a kind of taste, a cultural attitude that is shown to people at the beginning of meeting.

This cultural attitude made the New Year Concert from1847 65438+February 3 1 last for a whole century and a half. Johann Strauss I, a conductor described by a newspaper in Leipzig at that time as dark-skinned and "Moorish", evoked a "golden century" with a cheerful and beautiful waltz. Today, the most famous "Blue Danube" has been a must-have performance of Austrian Radio and Television International when the New Year bell rings every year, and it is also the finale of countless concerts. Austria proudly calls it the "second national anthem". Many people asked me about my impression of Vienna, and I said, call. Because if you dial the number 1509 from any phone in Vienna, you will hear the standard tone of 440 Hz A (people can correct the pitch of the instrument according to this tone).

The National Opera House, built in the 19 era, was John's first stop with me. John proudly said that this famous opera house, built in 186 1 to 1869, is one of the four most famous opera houses in the world. Many famous composers and conductors in the world have served as directors of vienna state opera here. For more than a century, it has been a place where world opera celebrities gather. I don't know when it started. Every spring, people hold a grand dance in this magnificent baroque building. This is the most famous and grand dance in the world.

The dance started at night 10 and didn't end until dawn the next day. Many foreign and foreign guests also rushed here to join the Viennese's intoxicating waltz dream. Friends of Vienna Concert Hall is the oldest and most modern concert hall. It is a legal place to hold "Vienna New Year Concert" every year, belonging to Italian Renaissance architecture. Vienna New Year Concert is world-famous. The concert hall belongs to the Austrian Friends of Music Association, which has more than 7,000 members and is said to be the oldest and largest music organization in the world.

The first performance 1 187 was performed by colleagues of the association. At the end of each year, it makes the whole world strangely quiet, just like the church hall before the mass. The people in the hall are like sheep in the sunset, devoutly listening to the beautiful harmony that seems to come from heaven. In Vienna, stories of great musicians such as Beethoven and Strauss spread everywhere. Almost every park in Vienna has statues of musicians. Beethoven's statue stands in the middle of a square in Ringer Street, and Schubert is still consistent with Beethoven and stands on this Ringer Street.

The stone statue of Mozart is located in the center of the Palace Park, while the bronze statue of johann strauss is placed in the Vienna Municipal Park. Strauss stood in front of a Arc de Triomphe and happily "played" his violin. The Arc de Triomphe was designed by the ancient Romans to welcome the hero's triumph. Obviously, Viennese think musicians are well-deserved heroes. There will be open-air movies in the town hall square almost every night, all of which are musicals, operas or concert videos. We watched Verdi's oratorio Requiem directed by karajan that day. It was cloudy that day, and clouds gathered in the gloomy sky. The Gothic spire of the city hall stands tall, pointing to the dark sky, which is even more majestic.

The sonorous and solemn songs of male and female tenors echoed over the square, wrapped around the towering spire, and the flag at the top of the tower danced in the wind and music. My soul seems to spin with the music, flying between spires and dark clouds. Music, architecture and sky are integrated, and all the noise in the world is forgotten.

Vienna forest waltz

When I first entered Austria, my heart was attracted by the mountains and trees. Cedar, ground pine, pine and cypress and some unknown vegetation decorate the valley. Because the flora is different, the green is naturally different. Some are thick green like paint, others are green. But when you look out the window, surrounded by mountains and secluded mountains, Qian Shan's mountains and valleys are hidden in the misty rain, giving people a quiet and profound feeling. At the waist of the mountain, there are colorful and varied farmhouses or villas scattered. The fertile grassland is rippling with blue waves and lush grass, such as Pinghu. The weather in mountainous areas is changeable. It was raining just now, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was shining, the mountains and rivers were stained, and velvet was wrapped in brocade. Austria's beautiful scenery has undoubtedly injected source and vitality into musicians' creation.

Blue Danube

For people who love music, Vienna is a paradise. As long as Vienna is mentioned, people will naturally think of the names of Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Haydn and johann strauss, because it is the hometown of the famous waltz and the birthplace of many famous classical music works in Europe. Climbing the foothills of the Alps, you can have a panoramic view of the ups and downs of Vienna's forests; Set foot on the Danube Valley and overlook the shining green peaks of Carpathian Mountain. The vast plain is like a huge green carpet, and the blue Danube flows through it. The aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the music of Vienna are the dialogue between man and everything in the universe. Whenever johann strauss's "Blue Danube", which is popular all over the world, rings in my ear, I think: I'm afraid there is no river in the world as happy as the Danube, because it is a river of music. The whole Danube is not full of water, but full of notes. The 2850-kilometer Danube, which flows through nine countries, originated in the eastern foothills of the German Herring Mountains. Although it is only 350 kilometers in Austria, this section of the Danube has extraordinary charm because it has nurtured a large number of great musicians.

Ninety-six percent of Austria belongs to the Danube River basin. In Austria's eyes, we can only find two things: the Danube and music. These two things can also be said to be the same thing, because sometimes we really can't tell whether the Danube inspired Austrian music or the Austrian amazing musical talent brought endless romance to the Danube. ?

When you go to Vienna, you must go to the coffee shop.

If you have petty bourgeoisie and white-collar income, going abroad is no longer a good choice for you to buy perfume and brand-name clothes that can be bought by big domestic stores, nor is it a good choice for you to sit on the street and watch the bare-shouldered beauty satisfy your eyes, then it is a good choice to go to Vienna for a few days.

Vienna was the cultural and political center of the world 65,438,000 years ago. Now Vienna (or Austria) seems to only provide people with spiritual products, such as New Year concerts, Beethoven, Strauss and Mozart. In terms of material, at least Finland has brand-name mobile phones and Sweden has good cars. But what I want to recommend here happens to be material things-coffee and snacks.

You must go to cafes and cafes more when you go to Vienna. Every family has its own wonderful and connotation. You must go to the central cafe in the first section. 100 years ago, this cafe was the center of the world-Trotsky often came here, and Wittgenstein and Freud also spread their new theories that shocked the world here.

Being here is an experience. Sit for a while, don't look at it, see if there are any ideas around you after sitting for a long time. Look at the lobby there and make sure you don't look at other so-called western restaurants or cafes when you get back.

Sack, also a cafe in the first district, is a pure aristocratic cafe. The coffee is good, but the proudest thing here is their chocolate cake. Looking at so many kinds of cakes and tasting their flavors, you may come to the conclusion that if you concentrate on the enjoyment of eating and drinking, it is absolutely right to stay in Vienna. The cakes in this family are world-famous. If you feel good after eating, you can buy the freshest ones in the duty-free shop at the airport when you leave Vienna. With their monopoly, you'd better go to another palace pastry shop with royal signs to buy some snacks.

Cafes in Vienna are different from other places. Europeans agree that the Turks let coffee flow into Europe, but the Viennese turned coffee tasting into literature, art and life.

Cafes in Vienna are always clean and warm, and they try to preserve an ancient and exquisite life in the past. Most waiters still wear black and white uniforms and neat bow ties, shuttling between tables. They never use "sir" to address their regulars, but call them by their names or titles in a friendly way. Without the guests' saying, they will take them to their favorite seats, hand them their favorite newspapers, and then send them their favorite coffee. It is these that make all the guests who come to the cafe unable to keep their emotions.
