Abstract
The broad strokes of economic and political globalisation in Central Europe and the concomitant flows of people in the current fin-de-siecle manifest themselves as shifts in the practice of ‘classical’ music in Vienna, a practice itself the legacy of analogous processes during the previous fin-de-siecle. Music in the Mozart Year 2006 reveals emergent multivalent possibilities in the transformation of classical music as cultural practice and is viewed through the rubrics of tradition, tourism, branding and the popular. This article argues that ultimately, the practice of classical music in Vienna continues to serve as a site for experiments in cosmopolitanism.
