At the time of classical music, the concerto genre for two solo instruments was somewhat out of fashion. But the use of the harp alongside the flute also makes Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's double concerto, composed in Paris in 1778 for a flute-playing nobleman and his harp-playing daughter, a truly unique piece of extremely subtle sound. The Adagietto from the Fifth Symphony is without a doubt Gustav Mahler's most famous symphonic movement ever. Not only because Luchino Visconti used it as the musical basis for his legendary film "Death in Venice" (1971) based on Thomas Mann's novella, but also because with this music the composer finally won the heart of his future wife Alma Schindler.

Munich Residence

The Munich Residence served as the seat of government and residence of the Bavarian dukes, electors and kings from 1508 to 1918. What began in 1385 as a castle in the north-eastern corner of the city (the Neuveste, or new citadel), was transformed by the rulers over the centuries into a magnificent palace, its buildings and gardens extending further and further into the town.


The rooms and art collections spanning a period that begins with the Renaissance, and extends via the early Baroque and Rococo epochs to Neoclassicism, bear witness to the discriminating taste and the political ambition of the Wittelsbach dynasty.
