Otto Nicolai founded this city's premier orchestra, which uses a type of horn with double-cylinder pushrod valves and a more mellow sound than the double horn. The harpist Anna Lelkes became the first permanent female member of that orchestra in 1997
Otto Nicolai founded this city's premier orchestra, which uses a type of horn with double-cylinder pushrod valves and a more mellow sound than the double horn. The harpist Anna Lelkes became the first permanent female member of that orchestra in 1997. This city's Philharmonic Orchestra plays in the Musikverein and usually ends its annual New Year's Concert with the (*) "Radetzky March," which was written by a resident of this city. That composer's sons included Eduard and Josef, and a son who wrote waltzes such as "Tales From this City's Woods," and "On the Beautiful Blue Danube." For 10 points, name this city which was home to Johann Strauss Sr. and Jr., and where Mozart and Beethoven spent most of their adult careers.
