Daniel Adam Maltz
WELCOME TO VIENNA, the capital of classical music! Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, and many more lived here — this city overflows with classical music history.
I'm Daniel Adam Maltz, a Vienna-based fortepianist specializing in the Viennese fortepianos, music performance practices, and culture during the Classical era.
Together, we'll dig into Classical-era music in a deeper way than you can in any other city.
