Question

In a piece named for this city, a long zither solo and a flute cadenza evoke the sound of birdsongs. A riot during a performance in this city which included Five Orchestral (-5[1])Songs after Postcards by Peter Altenberg took place during the so-called “scandal concert.” The “Second School” of composers in this city pioneered (15[1])(*) serialism with the development of the twelve-tone technique. This city’s “Woods” (10[1])were depicted by a composer whose son of the same name composed over 500 waltzes, including one known as “The Blue Danube.” Arnold Schoenberg (10[1])and two composers named Johann Strauss were natives of, for 10 points, what capital of Austria? ■END■
