Vienna - Beethoven and Stifter Museum Pasqualatihaus

Beethoven came to reside here several times in the period between 1804 and 1815. The house was owned by Beethoven's life-long friend Johann Baptist von Pasqualati. Tradition has it that whenever Beethoven moved out Pasqualati stated publicly "The house is not for rent; Beethoven will be back". It was here that the composer wrote his Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Symphonies, his Fourth Piano Concerto, the "Leonora" overtures and the opera "Fidelio". Although the memorial rooms are not exactly those which Beethoven occupied they are in close proximity.

Must-see attractions nearby:
On display are furniture and articles used by the composer, pictures such as Mähler's portrait of Beethoven painted in 1901, drawings, lithographs and music. The Adalbert Stifter Museum has also been housed here since 1979. On show are manuscripts and first editions by the author as well more than half the surviving pictures and landscapes which he painted.
