This work is perhaps better known among musicians than painters. It symbolizes the aesthetic culmination of European Romanticism. This painting suggests the superiority of music. The principal figure in the painting is a musician engaged in the act of producing music. In the picture we can see the famous musician Listz playing the piano, some people looking toward to the right and behind Listz, an extraordinary bust of Beethoven. The Beethoven bust dominates the entire painting.

Josef Danhauser was born in Vienna in 1805. He was one of the main artists of the Romanticism period.
