Christmas Market at Vienna City Hall Square

This classical-romantic composition is part of the cycle for accordion + orchestra "A Symphonic Journey through Vienna" (2014 - 2022).

I wrote these pieces in an indefinite period of time when I kept discovering Vienna for myself.

The cycle "A symphonic journey through Vienna" is dedicated to the world cultural city, Vienna, in the following aspects:

• the accordion was invented and patented in Vienna. It is played as an equal instrument and as an integral part of the orchestra, where its timbre as well as its playing techniques are used. 
• all pieces of the cycle are waltzes --> Vienna as the world capital of the waltz -> Johann Strauss
• each piece describes a landmark of Vienna, generally the world capital of classical music.

I thought the cycle was complete in 2022, but I was inspired by Vienna again in the years 2023 and 2024. 

I created two more works that will be published in the near future. I am therefore leaving it open as to when this orchestral album

(dedicated to the city of Vienna) will finally be completed.
