		Vienna is located on both banks of the Danube River, with the foothills of the Eastern Alps on the west and the plains of the Danube basin on the east.
		Vienna was for many centuries the political and economic center of the Austrian Empire under the Habsburg family, and between 1867 and 1918 the capital of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
		Vienna remains a city of strong musical heritage and is the seat of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna State Opera, and a music conservatory.

		The Vienna Philharmonic sees itself as having inherited a body of instrument types which at the end of the 18th century reflected the prevailing intellectual spirit and value system, not only of central Europe, but to a certain extent of the entire continent.
		Of course, the Vienna Philharmonic winds use vibrato in pieces where it is intended as a stylistic element.
		More important is that the string section of the Vienna Philharmonic is more like a workshop in the middle ages, where newly-arrived musicians are initiated into and absorb the secrets of the orchestra's special musical style.

		The USA is the only place in the world where the Vienna Philharmonic faces open protest, and it is the only place where the orchestra uses women substitutes.

		Karl Böhm (1894–1981) conducted most of the great orchestras of his day, but he enjoyed a special relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic.
		From his first appearance with the VPO in 1933 and for decades thereafter, Böhm showed a rare chemistry with the orchestra, expressing concrete musical ideas without tyrannically imposing his will.
		Böhm's success with the VPO may have stemmed in part from the conductor's Austrian roots, and his intuitive grasp of the country's rich musical tradition.
