Sažetak
For the research of life and creative work of an artist it is withouth doubt very
usefull to reconstruct the time in which he or she lieved. The historical, political and
socio-cultural frame of time can be a very important sources of knowledge about the
way of life and about the influences which were active, taking into account the way of
thinking and the artist’s relation towards his surroundings and people who were his
contemporaries. So it can be supposed that an artis who lived during the 18th century
stood under the influences of the artistic and socio-cultural characteristics of his time
and that he used all the elements and notions that belonged to his social surrounding,
even then when he succeded to overcome them by his creativity. Since the subject of
this paper concerns Vienna during the lifetime of Jan Křtitel Vaňhal, the research has
been done taking into account the period from 1740 to 1813, the year when Vaňhal died.
It was the time of the Monarchy during the reign of the Habsburg dinasty, so the periods
reigned by Maria Theresia, Joseph II., Leopold II. and Franz II.were analysed. Since
Maria Theresia and the zar Joseph II. paid an important attention to music, one chapter
is dedicated to the approach of Habsburg dinasty to this art. Furthe in the text Vienna
is introduced as the center of the Monarchy which was inhabited by many different
nationalities who had their individual characteristics. The habits and life needs by Vienna
population are described as well. The whole paper gives a description of Vienna
as a metropole in which music was very highly appreciated, in which there have been
many places where music was played and in which different layers of the population
received music, which had a strong attraction for other nations that have been under
the rule of the Habsburg dinasty.
