Music Download Sites From The 90s
Hermila Farquhar
I am trying to plan a 10-day trip to Germany with a focus on classical music sites. I'm planning on Leipzig for a few days (with a side trip to Halle), the Erfurt/Eisenach area, and possibly Bonn (is the Beethoven Haus worth it?). Any suggestions for other places? I've been searching classical music sites online and have not found many other ideas. BTW, I think I will leave Berlin and Dresden for another trip and am not planning on going to either city. Thank you.
With the Erfurt/Eisenach area likely you include also Weimar? Anyway for cultural / historical reasons worth (more a must, although I rather dont like the word) a visit, but have no idea how much is still there to find about Bach, however there is the Liszt-Haus you can visit.
I haven't visited, but Kthen heavily promotes it's Bach connection. If you decide on including Berlin, it's on the way from Leipzig. And, it's near the amazing garden realms of Dessau and Wrlitz (no classical music connection of which I am aware, just a beautiful area).
Richard Strauss lived in Garmisch and his villa is still preserved, but being owned and used by his family is open to public only by special arrangement so not easy to visit.
If the original poster ventures south, Salzburg is an obvious place to visit. IMHO Mozart's living house is more interesting than its birth house.
The villa owned by Franz Lehar in Bad Ischl is a museum open to public. Vienna has several classical music sites (Joh. Strauss, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn are the first coming to my mind)
@ Jill...My comments are based on your intention to leave Berlin and Dresden for another trip if you end up deciding on that. Bonn is worth it for the Beethoven Haus. I would also suggest seeing house of Beethoven's contemporary, Carl Maria von Weber, key composer in the music of German Romanticism, in Eutin/Holstein, not too far from Kiel and can be done as a day trip from Kiel. There is also a house/museum of Weber in Dresden. But Halle an der Saale and Leipzig are enough to keep your music interests occupied.
If you could just include a bit of Austria! I've been to Mozart birth house in Salzburg and the Mozart residence museum. And I just returned last month from my first trip to Vienna where I visited the cemetery where Strauss, Brahms, Schubert are buried and where they have monuments of Beethoven and Mozart. Also, Vienna has a museum called 'Haus der Musik' where you can get a lot more history and view the instruments of Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn and Strauss.
I've also been to Beethoven Haus in Bonn (twice) and thought it very interesting. We did a self-tour and I purchased two Urtext pieces as my own personal souvenir. I also brought home Beethoven pencils for my students (who were thrilled) and a watercolor print of the Beethoven Haus which I framed for my music studio.
Thank you, everyone, for your excellent suggestions. I have been to Vienna and of course loved it, and I'm sure I will return one day. But I have not been to Salzburg and may add that, as well as some of the other cities mentioned. I appreciate the endorsements for the Beethoven Haus and will include that. Bayreuth is another great idea, and I may try to go there also. My time is limited, and I don't want to give Berlin short-shrift (sp?), so I was thinking of going there another time, especially when my partner can join me (he probably can't for this trip).
Close to Leipzig is Zwickau, where Robert Schumann was born. His houses both in Zwickau and in Leipzig are museums today. In Weimar you can visit the Liszt house. In Weienfels is the Heinrich Schtz museum, and in Bad Kstritz is a second one.
In Zwickau you should also visit the car museum, which not only shows GDR models but also many prewar models of the Auto Union company. Weienfels is a rather depressing town, but Bad Kstritz is quite nice and offers a good brewery known for their black beers.
In the greater Dresden area the Carl Maria von Weber Museum is located in Dresden-Holsterwitz, if you decide to divert time from the Erfurt and Leipzig. In tracking down houses/museums of composers in Germany, don't forget Brahms Haus/Museum in Hamburg.
I am playing music from my phone. As soon as I open the site www.nytimes.com in Safari the music stops. If I go to Music, hit play, and open Safari again, the music stops. This only happens with the main page; if I have an article from this website open the music continues as it should. I don't understand why the music is stopping since this website has no music of its own. Is there a way to prevent the music from being stopped when looking at this website?
Happend anytime a website has preloaded media...which 99% of the time is some ad that plays. REALLY ANNOYING. Streaming music, reading articles, and every second webpage cuts off my music and some stupid ad starts playing.
Try using an adblocker (search the app store) - many sites have terrible advertising that can cause this. Also you can try disabling javascript but frankly that breaks so many sites nowadays that it is not practical but you may find that you can browse some sites without being interrupted. Adblock has a browser that may be worth trying if you don't want to meddle with Safari content blocking extensions.
I'm pretty sure the problem lies with Google Ads. I think there is some turf war between them and Apple, with Google exploiting a flaw in iOS and Apple now disabling the cross-website tracking function in Safari that Google relies on to curate advertisements. I understand the argument about allowing multiple audio channels but the real and immediate solution is to block Google Ads a la my post above: Re: Music stops when accessing a website
I had tested on my iPhone 5s (A1530) iOS 11.0.3 several minutes ago, I swipe up control center, click play button. When the music play, I open Safari, open www.gsmarena.com adn even write and post a comment the there, the music is still playing. No problem.
They don't pull this crap on MacOS. You could play iTunes, Spotify, Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etc all at the same time as long as you have enough ram and they aren't going to stop each other. They all just mind their own business and let the user actually use their devices.
apple has not solved ANY problem or bug that I have ever mentioned on this. I have said this before, Apple has a massive beta test population giving FREE crowdsource advice and they never reply with a solution.
apple music perhaps simply needs a switch in the settings that does not allow its audio to overridden. It always feels like apple folks just arent using their products enough to address all the permutations.
Just tried it on my 4S, but I still have iOS5.1.1 on it. The music contines to play. I don't have a device here with iOS 6 on it, so I cannot be sure if that may have something to do with it. Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if that helps.
Thanks for the reply. The music only stops only the site is fully loaded. Sometimes it takes a few secons for it to stop, but it stops. I did what you suggested, but the behaviour continues. If it doesn't happen with iOS 5, then it must be something to do with iOS 6, which I find quite surprising. I would really like to know what is happening here.
FYI. I updated my 4S to iOS 6 last night and have tested this again and I cannot get it to duplicate the behavior that you describe. I go to Music, start a song, go to Safari, go to the NYTimes web site and have gone through 2 songs so far and the music doesn't stop.
Try going into Settings, Safari, and clear history and cookies. See if that changes the way your Safari behaves. You also don't mention if you tried the reset that I recommended. Let me know what you find out.
It seems to have to do with if the we page has media content on it or not. I've had a similar experience on the Verge on the iPhone 5 review page, for example, because it has videos on the page. The problem is that the audio switch from Music app to QuickTime player continues even when the QuickTime application is not running/streaming. So, it will just sound blank and continue to switch the music 'off' into its static pauses mode while it awaits the content that is not currently playing.
