Terre de naissance ou d'adoption d'un nombre impressionnant de compositeurs et d'artistes musiciens parmi les plus grands, ce haut lieu de la musique développa un style qui lui était propre et qui ne s'est encore jamais perdu. A côté de la musique sérieuse illustrée par une extraordinaire suite de génies (Gluck, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler, Wolf, Berg, Schoenberg, Webern) pour ne citer que les plus célèbres, Vienne, on le sait, a dans le même temps su préserver une tradition de musique légère sur laquelle le temps semble ne pas avoir de prise, où l'élégant balancement de la valse le dispute à l'irrésistible frénésie des polkas, galops et autres quadrilles, ainsi qu'aux charmes mélodiques de l'opérette qu'illustrèrent, entre beaucoup d'autres, la famille Strauss et Franz Lehar. Poumons de cette vie musicale intense: les bals, les cafés, les kiosques à musique, dominés par ces institutions prestigieuses et vénérables que furent et demeurent la Staatsoper (l'Opéra), la Volksoper (opéra populaire), l'Orchestre philharmonique (considéré comme le meilleur orchestre au monde) ou encore l'Orchestre symphonique, qui tous virent défiler les plus illustrissimes baguettes et les chanteurs les plus estimés. Sous l'apparence d'une gloire à peu près continue, cette longue fresque peuplée d'innombrables seconds rôles dévoile une histoire tissée d'intrigues, de querelles et de cabales, pleine de paradoxes et de contradictions dont les effets sur le cours de la musique restent jusqu'à aujourd'hui d'une incommensurable portée. Henry-Louis de La Grange, à la fois musicologue et critique, est reconnu comme un des plus éminents spécialistes de Mahler sur lequel il a donné à travers le monde de très nombreuses conférences. Sa monumentale monographie en trois tomes sur le compositeur plébiscitée dans le monde entier en a fait un des meilleurs connaisseurs de la vie musicale viennoise.
