Entry from: Eisenstadt, Austria
Entry Title: "Vienna, day 1: Rohrau, Austria and Eisenstadt"
Entry:
"Really quickly I'm going to try and update this. We arrived safely last night in Vienna. We flew, and were the only study tour to do so, so we're kind of lucky. We have 2 classes which travel, and so this is the first of my traveling class tours. The class is called Great Ideas in Western Music. It's a really interesting class. It's nice to stay in a hotel too! Our hotel is really really nice, and we found out this morning that breakfast is wonderful!! They had a huge spread, rivaling Maga's breakfasts :-) Last night we went to a restaurant with the whole group and tried typical Austrian cuisine of potato soup, goulash, apple pastry, and wine. It was yummy, but we had to walk down all these weird ally-ways to get there with dumpsters in the middle and stuff. It was really bizzare. But dinner turned out great. We left for Rohrau (or Rust) this morning, which is closer to the Hungarian border. Here we went to the birth house of Franz Joseph Haydn and his lesser known but also very talented brother Michael Haydn were born. This wasn't that exciting, but it was okay. You can see the picture of the harpsicord that they played on, which is kind of neat. Haydn only lived there until he was 6 however, and the house technically burned partially down, so it's more of a replica house. So, I thought this wasn't that great. After this we went to Rust, which is a tiny village on the marvelous lake of Neusiedlersee. If you look across the lake you can see the Hungarian border, which is kind of cool. We ate at a great little restaurant and had pizza and wine. Yummm. The wine here is cheaper than the water (even tap water costs money in Europe), so we are finding ourselves drinking a lot of wine in Austria. It's good wine though, and I'm certainly not complaining. After this, we went to the Esterhazy Castle in Eisenstadt. This is the place where Hoseph Haydn worked for around 30 years. The castle is in the Baroque style, so it really has more of a palace feel than a castle. We mainly saw the concert hall and the chapel here. It was really neat to be in the concert hall while they played Haydn's music... I could just imagine all the wealthy people in their powdered wigs and busty dresses filling the hall, which this short and extremely ugly man Haydn filled the hall with this music. Incredible. After this, we looked at his grave, which is in the church that you can see pictures of. We then went to a concert in Vienna's Musikverein, which is one of the leading concert halls in the world. I hear it has what is considered to be the best acoustics in the world. We saw Antonin Dvorak's Requiem op. 89. We had standing room seats for the concert, because the normal seats are legitimately starting at 100 Euro a seat. Our standing seats only cost 6 Euro. This was an iiiinteresting experience. We definitely did get to see some of the most famous soloists in the world perform (including a midget with no arms... seriously!) as well as incredible music performed by some of the best musicians in the world. The choir was incredible. I'm glad I got to experience this, especially in such a world famous hall. That being said, this experience was miserable. There is a very reason standing seats are so inexpensive. We stood for a good 3 hours, no intermission or anything, pressed between bodies. It's impolite to move, so we could only move during the 10 second breaks between the music's movements. My feet were KILLING ME, my back/neck was so sore and I couldn't move to loosen up, it was dreadfully hot, the lady in front of me smelled like BO, there was no ventilation, and people were definitely invading my personal space the whole time. All I can say is that you would have to be a really really intense music lover to enjoy it very much. If you were there, you would definitely understand. After this concert, we all went and found dinner. We were all incredibly tired, and I went to ..."

Franz Joseph Haydn, (1732 - 1809), Austrian composer who, more than any other, epitomizes the aims and achievements of the Classical era. Over the course of his 106 symphonies, he became the principal architect of the classical style of music. Haydn was among the creators of the fundamental genres of classical music, and his influence upon later composers is immense. His most celebrated pupil was Ludwig van Beethoven, and his musical form casts a huge shadow over the music of subsequent composers such as Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms.
Part and parcel of Haydn's formal mastery was his famous sense of humor, his feeling for the unpredictable, elegant twist. In the Symphony No. 94 ("Surprise"), the composer tweaks those audience members who typically fall asleep during slow movements with the sudden, completely unexpected intrusion of a fortissimo chord during a passage of quietude. Haydn's pictorial sense is much in evidence works like his epic oratorio The Creation (1796-1798), in which images of the cosmos taking shape are thrillingly, movingly portrayed in tones. By one estimate, Haydn produced some 340 hours of music, more than Bach or Handel, Mozart or Beethoven. Few of them lack some unexpected detail or clever solution to a formal problem.
Haydn was prolific not just because he was a tireless worker with an inexhaustible musical imagination, but also because of the circumstances of his musical career: he was the last prominent beneficiary of the system of noble patronage that had nourished European musical composition since the Renaissance. Born in the small Austrian village of Rohrau, he became a choirboy at St. Stephen's cathedral in Vienna when he was eight. After his voice broke and he was turned out of the choir, he eked out a precarious living as a teenage freelance musician in Vienna.
His fortunes began to turn in the late 1750s as members of Vienna's noble families became aware of his music, and on May 1, 1761, he went to work for the Esterházy family. He remained in their employ for the next 30 years, writing many of his instrumental compositions and operas for performance at their vast summer palace, Esterháza.
Musical creativity may often, it is true, meet a tragic end, but Haydn lived long enough to reap the rewards of his own imagination and toil. The Esterházys curtailed their musical activities in 1790, but by that time Haydn was known all over Europe and widely considered the greatest living composer. He himself deferred to Mozart in that regard and the friendly competition between the two composers deepened the music of both. Two trips to London during the 1790s resulted in two sets of six symphonies each that remain centerpieces of the orchestral repertoire.
Haydn's final masterpieces included powerful choral works: the Creation and Seasons oratorios and a group of six masses. He stopped composing in 1803, after which he prefaced his correspondence with a little musical quotation from one of his part-songs bearing the text "Gone is all my strength; I am old and weak." He died in Vienna on May 31, 1809.

Rohrau, Austria
Rohrau (German: Marktgemeinde Rohrau) is a village in the state of Lower Austria. The name Rohrau comes from two single German words, Rohr which means 'reed' and Au which means 'riparian forest' - the name of the village tells its location - south of the village there is a riparian forest and a swamp covered with reed. Rohrau is located in the "industrial quarter" (Industrieviertel) of the state of Lower Austria. Its area is 20.50 km2, of which 8.38% is forested. There is a kindergarten and a primary school (Volksschule).
Subdivisions
Rohrau is subdivided into the following Katastralgemeinden:
History
The area in pre-Roman times belonged to the Celtic kingdom of Noricum. In Roman Times the area was part of the Roman province of Pannonia Superior; Rohrau is near to Carnuntum, a former Roman army camp close to the village of Petronell-Carnuntum. Rohrau grew along an old road next to the river Leitha connecting Carnuntum to the bridge crossing the river at Bruck an der Leitha, the current district capital.

Austria (
i/ˈɒstriə, ˈɔː-/;German: Österreich [ˈøːstɐˌʁaɪç]), officially the Republic of Austria (German: Republik Österreich, 
listen ), is a federal republic and a landlocked country of over 8.66 million people in Central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Hungary and Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The territory of Austria covers 83,879 square kilometres (32,386 sq mi). Austria's terrain is highly mountainous, lying within the Alps; only 32% of the country is below 500 metres (1,640 ft), and its highest point is 3,798 metres (12,461 ft). The majority of the population speak local Bavarian dialects of German as their native language, and Austrian German in its standard form is the country's official language. Other local official languages are Hungarian, Burgenland Croatian, and Slovene.

Fucking, Austria
Fucking (German pronunciation: [ˈfʊkɪŋ], rhymes with "booking") is an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria. The village is 33 kilometres (21 mi) north of Salzburg, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the German border.
Despite having a population of only 104 in 2005, the village has become famous for its unusual place name in the English-speaking world. Its road signs are a popular visitor attraction, and they were often stolen by souvenir-hunting tourists until 2005, when the signs were modified to be theft-resistant.
Etymology
It is believed that the settlement was founded in the 6th century by Focko, a Bavarian nobleman. The existence of the village was documented for the first time in 1070, and historical records show that some twenty years later, the lord was Adalpertus de Fucingin. The spelling of the name has evolved over the years; it is first recorded in historical sources with the spelling as Vucchingen in 1070, Fukching in 1303,Fugkhing in 1532, and in the modern spelling Fucking in the 18th century, which is pronounced with the vowel oo as in book. The ending -ing is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people belonging to the root word to which it is attached, thus Fucking means "(place of) Focko's people."

SS Austria
SS Austria was a steamship of the Hamburg America Line which sank on 13 September 1858, in one of the worst transatlantic maritime disasters of the nineteenth century, claiming the lives of 449 passengers and crew. The Austria was built by Caird & Co. of Greenock, Scotland and was launched on 23 June 1857. She was 318 ft and 2,684 BRT, with three masts and single screw propeller propulsion.
After a cancelled British Government charter, she went into service with the Hamburg America Line on 1 May 1858 on the Hamburg-New York route.
Tragedy at sea
On 1 September 1858, SS Austria captained by F. A. Heydtmann sailed from Hamburg on her third voyage to New York City. At approximately 12:00, on 13 September, at coordinates 45°01′N 41°30′W / 45.017°N 41.500°W / 45.017; -41.500, a decision was made to fumigate steerage by dipping a red-hot chain into a bucket of tar; the chain became too hot for the boatswain to hold, and it was dropped onto the deck, which immediately burst into flames; although the ship was traveling at only half speed it was impossible to stop the engines as the engine crew had become asphyxiated. When the helmsman abandoned the wheel, the ship swung into the wind, spreading the flames down the length of the ship, racing through the mahogany veneer and varnished bulkheads, as passengers jumped into the sea. The passing barque, Maurice of France rescued most of the survivors, and the Catarina of Norway picked up more the next morning. As the blackened hulk was left to sink, all but 65 of 538 passengers were lost.

Franz Joseph Haydn, (1732 - 1809), Austrian composer who, more than any other, epitomizes the aims and achievements of the Classical era. Over the course of his 106 symphonies, he became the principal architect of the classical style of music. Haydn was among the creators of the fundamental genres of classical music, and his influence upon later composers is immense. His most celebrated pupil was Ludwig van Beethoven, and his musical form casts a huge shadow over the music of subsequent composers such as Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms.
Part and parcel of Haydn's formal mastery was his famous sense of humor, his feeling for the unpredictable, elegant twist. In the Symphony No. 94 ("Surprise"), the composer tweaks those audience members who typically fall asleep during slow movements with the sudden, completely unexpected intrusion of a fortissimo chord during a passage of quietude. Haydn's pictorial sense is much in evidence works like his epic oratorio The Creation (1796-1798), in which images of the cosmos taking shape are thrillingly, movingly portrayed in tones. By one estimate, Haydn produced some 340 hours of music, more than Bach or Handel, Mozart or Beethoven. Few of them lack some unexpected detail or clever solution to a formal problem.
Haydn was prolific not just because he was a tireless worker with an inexhaustible musical imagination, but also because of the circumstances of his musical career: he was the last prominent beneficiary of the system of noble patronage that had nourished European musical composition since the Renaissance. Born in the small Austrian village of Rohrau, he became a choirboy at St. Stephen's cathedral in Vienna when he was eight. After his voice broke and he was turned out of the choir, he eked out a precarious living as a teenage freelance musician in Vienna.
His fortunes began to turn in the late 1750s as members of Vienna's noble families became aware of his music, and on May 1, 1761, he went to work for the Esterházy family.

He stopped composing in 1803, after which he prefaced his correspondence with a little musical quotation from one of his part-songs bearing the text "Gone is all my strength; I am old and weak." He died in Vienna on May 31, 1809.

Franz Joseph Haydn, (1732 - 1809), Austrian composer who, more than any other, epitomizes the aims and achievements of the Classical era. Over the course of his 106 symphonies, he became the principal architect of the classical style of music. Haydn was among the creators of the fundamental genres of classical music, and his influence upon later composers is immense. His most celebrated pupil was Ludwig van Beethoven, and his musical form casts a huge shadow over the music of subsequent composers such as Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms.
Part and parcel of Haydn's formal mastery was his famous sense of humor, his feeling for the unpredictable, elegant twist. In the Symphony No. 94 ("Surprise"), the composer tweaks those audience members who typically fall asleep during slow movements with the sudden, completely unexpected intrusion of a fortissimo chord during a passage of quietude. Haydn's pictorial sense is much in evidence works like his epic oratorio The Creation (1796-1798), in which images of the cosmos taking shape are thrillingly, movingly portrayed in tones. By one estimate, Haydn produced some 340 hours of music, more than Bach or Handel, Mozart or Beethoven. Few of them lack some unexpected detail or clever solution to a formal problem.
Haydn was prolific not just because he was a tireless worker with an inexhaustible musical imagination, but also because of the circumstances of his musical career: he was the last prominent beneficiary of the system of noble patronage that had nourished European musical composition since the Renaissance. Born in the small Austrian village of Rohrau, he became a choirboy at St. Stephen's cathedral in Vienna when he was eight. After his voice broke and he was turned out of the choir, he eked out a precarious living as a teenage freelance musician in Vienna.
His fortunes began to turn in the late 1750s as members of Vienna's noble families became aware of his music, and on May 1, 1761, he went to work for the Esterházy family. He remained in their employ for the next 30 years, writing many of his instrumental compositions and operas for performance at their vast summer palace, Esterháza.
Musical creativity may often, it is true, meet a tragic end, but Haydn lived long enough to reap the rewards of his own imagination and toil. The Esterházys curtailed their musical activities in 1790, but by that time Haydn was known all over Europe and widely considered the greatest living composer. He himself deferred to Mozart in that regard and the friendly competition between the two composers deepened the music of both. Two trips to London during the 1790s resulted in two sets of six symphonies each that remain centerpieces of the orchestral repertoire.

Entry from: Eisenstadt, Austria
Entry Title: "Vienna, day 1: Rohrau, Austria and Eisenstadt"
Entry:
"Really quickly I'm going to try and update this. We arrived safely last night in Vienna. We flew, and were the only study tour to do so, so we're kind of lucky. We have 2 classes which travel, and so this is the first of my traveling class tours. The class is called Great Ideas in Western Music. It's a really interesting class. It's nice to stay in a hotel too! Our hotel is really really nice, and we found out this morning that breakfast is wonderful!! They had a huge spread, rivaling Maga's breakfasts :-) Last night we went to a restaurant with the whole group and tried typical Austrian cuisine of potato soup, goulash, apple pastry, and wine. It was yummy, but we had to walk down all these weird ally-ways to get there with dumpsters in the middle and stuff. It was really bizzare. But dinner turned out great. We left for Rohrau (or Rust) this morning, which is closer to the Hungarian border. Here we went to the birth house of Franz Joseph Haydn and his lesser known but also very talented brother Michael Haydn were born. This wasn't that exciting, but it was okay. You can see the picture of the harpsicord that they played on, which is kind of neat. Haydn only lived there until he was 6 however, and the house technically burned partially down, so it's more of a replica house. So, I thought this wasn't that great. After this we went to Rust, which is a tiny village on the marvelous lake of Neusiedlersee. If you look across the lake you can see the Hungarian border, which is kind of cool. We ate at a great little restaurant and had pizza and wine. Yummm. The wine here is cheaper than the water (even tap water costs money in Europe), so we are finding ourselves drinking a lot of wine in Austria. It's good wine though, and I'm certainly not complaining. After this, we went to the Esterhazy Castle in Eisenstadt. This is the place where Hoseph Haydn worked for around 30 years. The castle is in the Baroque style, so it really has more of a palace feel than a castle. We mainly saw the concert hall and the chapel here. It was really neat to be in the concert hall while they played Haydn's music... I could just imagine all the wealthy people in their powdered wigs and busty dresses filling the hall, which this short and extremely ugly man Haydn filled the hall with this music. Incredible. After this, we looked at his grave, which is in the church that you can see pictures of. We then went to a concert in Vienna's Musikverein, which is one of the leading concert halls in the world. I hear it has what is considered to be the best acoustics in the world. We saw Antonin Dvorak's Requiem op. 89. We had standing room seats for the concert, because the normal seats are legitimately starting at 100 Euro a seat. Our standing seats only cost 6 Euro. This was an iiiinteresting experience. We definitely did get to see some of the most famous soloists in the world perform (including a midget with no arms... seriously!) as well as incredible music performed by some of the best musicians in the world. The choir was incredible. I'm glad I got to experience this, especially in such a world famous hall. That being said, this experience was miserable. There is a very reason standing seats are so inexpensive. We stood for a good 3 hours, no intermission or anything, pressed between bodies. It's impolite to move, so we could only move during the 10 second breaks between the music's movements. My feet were KILLING ME, my back/neck was so sore and I couldn't move to loosen up, it was dreadfully hot, the lady in front of me smelled like BO, there was no ventilation, and people were definitely invading my personal space the whole time. All I can say is that you would have to be a really really intense music lover to enjoy it very much. If you were there, you would definitely understand. After this concert, we all went and found dinner. We were all incredibly tired, and I went to ..."

Rohrau, Austria
Rohrau (German: Marktgemeinde Rohrau) is a village in the state of Lower Austria. The name Rohrau comes from two single German words, Rohr which means 'reed' and Au which means 'riparian forest' - the name of the village tells its location - south of the village there is a riparian forest and a swamp covered with reed. Rohrau is located in the "industrial quarter" (Industrieviertel) of the state of Lower Austria. Its area is 20.50 km2, of which 8.38% is forested. There is a kindergarten and a primary school (Volksschule).
Subdivisions
Rohrau is subdivided into the following Katastralgemeinden:
History
The area in pre-Roman times belonged to the Celtic kingdom of Noricum. In Roman Times the area was part of the Roman province of Pannonia Superior; Rohrau is near to Carnuntum, a former Roman army camp close to the village of Petronell-Carnuntum. Rohrau grew along an old road next to the river Leitha connecting Carnuntum to the bridge crossing the river at Bruck an der Leitha, the current district capital.
