Some music festivals are mainly held to commemorate a musician, such as Bach Music Festival, Beethoven Music Festival, Mei Niuyin Music Festival and Nie Er Music Festival. Some music festivals are turned into contemporary music works, such as the "Danauer Schengen Music Festival"; Some music festivals include a variety of artistic projects, such as the Salzburg Music Festival (opera, musical, ballet, drama).
