Viennese German
Viennese German (; ) is the city dialect spoken in Vienna, the capital of Austria, and is counted among the Bavarian dialects. It is distinct from written Standard German in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Even in Lower Austria, the state surrounding the city, many of its expressions are not used, while farther to the west they are often not even understood. Features Viennese differs from the Austrian form of Standard German, as well as from other dialects spoken in Austria. At the beginning of the 20th century, one could differentiate among four Viennese dialects (named after the districts in which they were spoken): ''Favoritnerisch'' ( Favoriten, 10th District), ''Meidlingerisch'', ( Meidling, 12th District), ''Ottakringerisch'' ( Ottakring, 16th District), and ''Floridsdorferisch'' ( Floridsdorf, 21st District). Today these labels are no longer applicable, and one speaks of a single Viennese dialect, with its usage varying as one moves further away from the cit ...

Viennese Classicism
The First Viennese School is a name mostly used to refer to three composers of the Classical period in Western art music in late-18th-century to early-19th-century Vienna: Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. Sometimes, Franz Schubert is added to the list. In German-speaking countries, the term ''Wiener Klassik'' (lit. ''Viennese classical era/art'') is used. That term is often more broadly applied to the Classical era in music as a whole, as a means to distinguish it from other periods that are colloquially referred to as ''classical'', namely Baroque and Romantic music. The term "Viennese School" was first used by Austrian musicologist Raphael Georg Kiesewetter, in 1834, although he only counted Haydn and Mozart as members of the school. Other writers followed suit and eventually Beethoven was added to the list. The designation "first" is added today to avoid confusion with the Second Viennese School. These composers sometimes encountered each other ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
