Don´t you also experience so? - That sometimes, when you come to mostly old buildings, castles, churches, or other places with atmosphere, it is like turning into a child again, and you start imagining how life was here long ago. Your mind starts a journey and on the surface of melodies, you get carried away into the past. Let me explain with this sideway: Just around the corner there is the Pasqualati-House. It was built for the private physician of Maria Theresia, the sovereign of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, Mantua, Milan, Lodomeria and Galicia, the Austrian Netherlands and Parma quite a few years ago. And this Johann Baptist Freiherr von Pasqualati was a favourer of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827). So it came, that he became his landlord in the time between 1804 and 1815. And there it was, that important works like his Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Symphonies, Fidelio or “Für Elise” and others came to life. So when I come here, I imagine Ludwig walking through these narrow alleys, like on his way downtown, or at night back from the “Schwarzen Kameel”, which is just about 10 minutes walk away, and where more, or less “high”-society still meets today, eats and drinks. A man at night, walking through empty streets, tired and on his way home. And maybe more now than then, melodies in his head, not yet ripe, but nearly, sprouting to the surface. And I benefit from these fruits and have Beethovens Fifth, or “Für Elise” in my ears when I am here. This is the magic of this place, of any place. And I am thankful for these melodies of fantasy, which carry me away, and which are able to paint places with feelings, like here for instance.
