With Donald Macleod.
2: Vienna
Beethoven arrived in Vienna in 1792 with the support and recommendation of his previous employer, the Elector of Cologne, and his friend Count Waldstein. He soon made a favourable impression in the salons and at court, adding the name of Prince Lichnowsky to his group of sponsors and acquaintances. But public life was not as liberal. Recent revolutionary experiences in France had made Viennese authorities nervous. As Beethoven wrote to a friend, "one doesn't dare raise one's voice here, otherwise the police find lodgings foryou."
