Eugen walked the streets of Vienna and after searching for a long time without finding the gift he wanted, he prepared to return to the palace.

Halfway through the road, there was a sudden melodious violin sound on the side of the street, and he looked for it, only to see that in front of the Vienna Konzerthaus, a young violinist was promoting the concert in progress.

Seeing this, it suddenly occurred to Eugen that he had come and gone so many times, and he had entered the Imperial Palace in Vienna several times, but he had never entered the Vienna Concert Hall to listen to music.

Vienna is known as the capital of music, and the level and popularity of the concerts held here are quite high, and it would be a shame to miss them.

Thinking like this, Eugen stepped in, and the little guy in front of the concert door could recognize Eugen's identity even if he didn't have the eyesight, and he grew his mouth in surprise.

So he hurriedly called out the big man in charge of the concert hall and asked him to receive Eugen.

"Hello, hey, the Marquis Eugen is here, the Vienna Konzerthaus is really brilliant." A slightly chubby, middle-aged steward with two mustaches on his lips greeted him and said cheerfully to Eugen.

Eugen just wanted to listen to some music and had no intention of communicating with these people, but out of politeness, he smiled and said, "Oh, hello, what do you call it?" ”

At the mention of the name, the man's face suddenly showed a little smugness, he puffed up his chest, straightened the tie on his chest, and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm Johann Strauss, you can just call me Strauss, honorable Lord Eugen." ”

If you are a music student here, you will inevitably be so excited that you can't help yourself when you hear this name, and you may even faint directly.

You know, Johann Strauss is not an ordinary character.

Johann Strauss the Elder was a famous musician who wrote more than one hundred and fifty waltzes, dozens of polkas and marches during his lifetime. But his greatest achievement is that together with the composer Josef Lanna, he laid the foundation for the Viennese waltz.

Before them, the waltz was slower, with the same three beats in a measure, while the Viennese waltz, the second and third beats were often a little longer, and the tempo was usually a small board.

As soon as such waltzes appeared, they were loved by the upper class, and the dances at the banquets of the nobles were mostly based on his tunes, and every time the music was played, it would trigger a wave of joy.

In a sense, the knowledge of this kind of music can be said to be a sign of high society figures, and at banquets, when the nobles chatted with each other, they often used the introduction of these pieces to show off their fashion.

That's why Johann Strauss the Elder put on such a face to Eugen, and in his opinion, Eugen, as a nobleman, must have come up happily when he saw a master of art like him, and asked something about music.

Old Johann Strauss knew this very well, they were nobles who liked to be vassals and elegant, and were most willing to spend money on things like art, as long as they put on their own identities, the other party would definitely post them and ask questions.

When the time comes, he will be able to make a fortune with whatever he wants, and as he thinks, Johann Strauss has an exaggerated smile on his face, as if he has seen the gold coins dangling in front of his eyes.

"Oh, that's right." Eugen nodded, excused himself with Johann Strauss, and prepared to bypass him into the Viennese Konzerthaus.

It was as if in Eugen's view, Johann Strauss was just an insignificant little man who did not interest him at all.

In fact, this really can't be blamed on Eugen, Eugen's understanding of music is really a little shallow, among those well-known musicians in history, he has heard some of the top figures such as Mozart and Beethoven.

He knew very little about other musicians, and some even if they did, they had only heard the name at most, and when he heard the name Johann Strauss at the moment, he just felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember that this was a famous musician.

John Strauston felt a strong insult at Eugen's reaction, the corners of his mouth twitching stiffly, and his eyes widening as if they were about to bulge out of his sunken sockets.

"This ...... What does that mean? Johann Strauss said silently in his heart, like a child who dropped an ice cream on the ground, the imaginary gold coin was gone, but was despised, and the contrast with reality was too great.

But he couldn't be angry with Eugen, and Johann Strauss was still very aware of his position, and he knew that a musician's work, no matter how good it was, could not be eaten as bread.

He had the music in his hands, and the nobles had the bread, and he had to find a way to establish a connection between the two in order to skillfully exchange the music for bread.

For some people who are more persistent in the pursuit of art, this idea may be a bit inappropriate, but Johann Strauss has no such concerns.

He also has a large family to support, he himself has artistic pursuits, and his son also has artistic pursuits, and art is expensive, and only when the problem of art and bread is solved first, can other considerations be considered.

Thinking like this, Johann Strauss hurriedly turned around to catch up with Eugen, continued to put on a smiling face, and said: "Marquis Eugen, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you have come to the Vienna Konzerthaus, come, please allow me to introduce you to this concert hall, and the performance here today, you know, this can be said to be the pride of the whole of Vienna." ”

Johann Strauss caught up again, which surprised Eugen a little, but he didn't care about anything, he was indeed a newcomer, and it was good to have someone to introduce the situation.

"The Vienna Konzerthaus belongs to the Vienna Music Society, also known as the Vienna Society Golden Hall, and some people even call it the Golden Hall."

"This is Vienna, and it is also one of the oldest concert halls in the world, with a total of 1,744 seats and 300 standing seats in the Musikverein, and the resident orchestra here is the Vienna Philharmonic, and the contemptible is also a member of the Philharmonic Orchestra."

Johann Strauss had said a great deal about the Musikverein in Vienna, and they came to an intersection in the concert hall, with the avenue leading to the main hall on the first floor, and two stairs on either side leading to the second floor.
