"Vienna, as everyone knows, is the city of music, and Joseph Wechsberg's lively book evokes the music of the city, the popular music of the Strauss family and of the Heuringer-singers, the great music of the Classical masters, the soft sound of Viennese speech and the harmony of the baroque city set in the unspoiled beauty of the Vienna Woods...[Wechsberg] reveals the Vienna of the Viennese, not always glamorous, sometimes a little shabby, but a city of living people to whom the past is a reality, who have bred or entertained many of the greatest masters of European music and poetry."
