Many writers are either musicians themselves or music plays an important part in their works. Kazuo Ishiguro, who was awarded the Nobel prize in literature 2017, is one of them. He dreamed about becoming a musician when he was young, and he occasionally writes lyrics for singers. “Read with your ears“, says a journalist about one of his books, which felt to her like “a seat at a concert.”
Vienna is a fascinating destination for music lovers from all over the world. There is so much to discover: Opera houses, concert halls, apartments and graves of famous musicians…
Where to start exploring Vienna – the city of music? Most tourists head to the famous opera, the Musikverein or the famous jazzclub “Porgy&Bess”. And then?
