“A citizen of the world through music,” a fitting tribute, wouldn’t you say? Right here, on this unassuming building, the Antonín Dvořák Plaque commemorates the legacy of a true musical giant. Antonín Dvořák, the Czech master, graced these very streets, leaving an indelible mark on the world of music. The inscription, “HIER WOHNTE WIEDERHOLT DER TSCHECHISCHE MEISTER ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK 1841 – 1904 WELTBÜRGER DER MUSIK”, stands as a testament to his enduring influence. Though Vienna was not his primary residence, Dvořák made several trips to this grand city, seeking inspiration and finding solace in its vibrant cultural scene. While he is best known for his time in Prague and his impactful years in America, Dvořák’s connection to Vienna reminds us that music transcends borders. It’s a universal language, and Dvořák, a “citizen of the world” through his art, spoke it fluently.
