Although born elsewhere, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven all settled in Vienna to study and gain recognition.

Question

Is this statement true or false?

Answer 1

It's true. During the Classical period, Vienna was the cultural center of music in the West.

Answer 2

Yes, it is true that all three of these composers studied in Vienna. Haydn was even one of Beethoven's teachers. Haydn also met Mozart on many occasions in Vienna in the 1780s. It is not certain if Beethoven and Mozart ever met, but it is believed that they very well could have while they were there.
