MOZART HERE, MOZART THERE.
MOZART HERE, MOZART THERE.
For a year this 150-thousand small town accepts more than 20 million
Tourists. This fantastic figure inspires respect and even envy.
On a planet there is no other such city, a rhythm and which style of a life in
To so huge measure would be subordinated to Music. Still, here was born
Mozart, and since 20th years of this century is spent most
Prestigious festival of arts. It is Salzburg, the centre of one of
Nine Austrian earths.
Salzburg fanned on the nice past, impresses with beauty. A city, in
Which the nature and architecture have merged together, is strong squeezed in
Embraces of the soft, green hills smoothly passing in the Alpine
Tops. The marvellous landscape is supplemented with mountain rivulet Zaltsah,
"Held down" by set of openwork bridges. For fluent acquaintance with
City enough four hours. But if you wish to take pleasure it
Not repeated charm, be late here on couple of days.
The old part of a city transformed into a foot zone, leaves
Unforgettable impressions. Only the fiacres harnessed Here scurry about
Small, mountain horsies. Curve, very narrow small streets and lanes,
Mysterious double-exit courtyards, gardens, well-groomed court yard and
Romantic penthouses of which windows, apparently, just about will look out
The beauty in a kokoshnik. Temples, palaces, monuments, fountains,
Sculptures... All is nice, kind, medieval Salzburg.
Admiration all is worthy: and the gloomy archiepiscopal lock, and
Iridescent palace Mirabelle plums, and a majestic cathedral, and
Post-war inhabited chetyrehetazhka. Buildings shine cleanliness and look
So, as if them have erected only yesterday. That, however, and it is no wonder
-- In an old part of a city all available housing, and after all is restored
Many are constructed of these houses in XV century.
About local cleanliness it is possible to compose hymns. Similar, all inhabitants
Salzburg live by a principle: cleanliness - health pledge, and visitors
Try to be up to standard. Not a city - the present drugstore! Involuntarily
Shocked the friends-Ukrainians who have settled here. And the passage has happened
The such. I get a light in the street a cigarette, and a match, as usual, I throw
Aside. My former compatriot silently lifts it and
Lowers in an urn. Nervously I finish smoking a cigarette, I look around for an urn and
I send a stub there. And again miss. The lady catches from
Dust the decaying stub also extinguishes it with words: "Well will light up
All! "Here so: a century live, a century study.
Peak of a tourist season - and tourists come here all year long
-- It is necessary for July-August. At this time the population of Salzburg
Increases more than twice. To visitors are always glad. Enough
To tell, that in sphere of service of a city which brings in
The state treasury of hundred millions shillings, it is occupied approximately
80 % working local ljuda. Mozart's native land - the sample
Perfectly well debugged industry of tourism.
The ground floors of buildings - a never-ending train of shops, souvenir
Benches, restaurants, cafe, a bistro, confectioner's shops. On counters all,
That Austria and the half-world makes. The prices - impressing, even for
Souvenirs. For example, an unpretentious charm with a city emblem
Will manage to you in 40 shillings (we will clear up $1 corresponds 13
To shillings). But all rather: together it is possible perfectly well
To have a dinner at restaurant of all for 45 DM. Do not doubt,
In Kiev for such entertainment in abrupt "nutrition unit" from you will tear off three
Skins. I nesprosta have recollected DM - here it goes
On a level with shilling, other currency in Salzburg do not recognise. All
Speaks simply: border with Germany - it is already pure conditional -
Passes on suburb of Salzburg. Inflow of tourists from Germany
It is huge.
Remarkable detail: in the local shops even most
Luxurious where trade in furs or antiques, at all
There are no gloomy security guards to whom we so have got used in Kiev. And
Show-windows - lovely sight, a taste and wit chasm. At one of them
The people crowd, tourists stare at two usual dummies. But - that
It?! - suddenly dummies start to smile, gesticulate,
Turn... So the live guy and the girl show clothes.
Business in Salzburg does not do only the lazy. Earn on
Life even monks of a monastery of St. Peter, that in the city centre. In
To monastic bakery and brewery sacred aged men and novices
Bake excellent quality bread and cook beer. And successfully realise
Products at own restaurant-grotto.
I do not know, how much now hotels and boarding houses in Kiev, but in
Salzburg, small town less than White Church, them more than two hundred,
Including nine hotels of a category "lux" (5 asterisks), where number
Manages approximately in 1900-3600 shillings a day.
However, the youth prefers to spend the night on lawns and benches
Parks and squares. Democratic city usages of it not
Prohibit. The tourist brotherhood is equipped who in what is ready:
Vests and the T-shorts, the bared stomachs and backs, shorts alternate with
The cut off jeans. Standing - worldly-wise slippers, krossovki,
Gym shoes, and someone walks about on streets and at all barefoot. But
Conveniently and easily.
It is impossible to present Salzburg without ingenious Wolfgang
Amadeja, brought to the native land world glory. Mozart sounds almost as
The Christ. And involuntarily it would be desirable to paraphrase words Figaro slightly
From a popular aria in Rossini's opera: "Mozart here, Mozart there...".
Very narrow Getrajdegasse, the 5-storeyed house under Б 9. On its yellow facade
By large letters it is deduced - "Mozart's Native house". Here in 1756
To year in a family of musician Leopold Mozart the kid was to the world,
Which have named Wolfgang Amadeem. He has lived In this house with
Parents of 17 years, then the family has moved to more spacious
Apartment on area Makart. In 1781 the composer has left the native
Penates, it was waited by Vienna.
In Motsarthauze many years the apartment-museum is opened for tourists
The composer. At an input - the long turn, and from a confectioner's shop on
The ground floor "the Small night serenade" silently flows. The ticket "in
Visitors "to Mozart will manage in 70 shillings. The abrupt ladder will result
All interested persons on the third floor - in an inner sanctum, in modest
Flat from two rooms from a hall where was born, veins and created
The genius. On a general review the most valuable curiosities - are exposed
molotochnoe the piano and a violin on which young Mozart played music.
Here you will see also 33-year-old Wolfgang's well-known portrait
Amadeja brushes of artist Lang.
In five minutes of walking from Getrajdegasse - the spacious area of a name
The composer. Since the last century the monument to Mozart - here rises
The figure of the Master in all growth is cast in bronze. In a city operates
The world centre of science studying creativity of the great
The compatriot - "Motsarteum". As the Higher is named also
Musical school, and known symphonic orchestra.
The spirit of the composer soars in air. The cafe and restaurants carry names
Characters motsartovskih operas, like "Figaro" or "Papageno". Young,
The young and adult Wolfgang Amadej looks at you from cards,
Albums, books, posters, posters, compact discs, stamps,
Beer mugs and, at last, the most expensive chocolates
"Motsartkugeln". Concerning the last occurs already and a joke: "One
The tourist asks another: whether he likes Mozart, meaning
Music. That responds: "Still, it so is pleasant on taste". Musical
Autographs of the maestro decorate scarfs, umbrellas, bags, vests, ties,
Hats. Any trifle connected with Mozart, turns around the income.
And still the best monument to the composer - music, constantly
Sounding in its native city. On the most prestigious in the world Salzburg
Summer festival of arts motsartovskie operas "Magic flute" and
"Don ZHuan" 79 times now have been presented. Immortal symphonies
The composer sound in execution of the best orchestras of the world - Viennese and
Berlin philharmonic societies.
