August 12 - ViennaAfter an opening reception last night at the hotel, we took a bus tour of Vienna stopping at Bruckner's residences, the Musikverein, the University and the Tilgner statue in the Stadtpark.
We went to the central cemetery to see the graves of such notable composers as Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert and Johann Strauss.
Finally, we visited Belvedere and the place where Bruckner died in 1896.
