Engraving of the Augarten (published by Artaria & Co., Vienna, ca. 1840). This engraving depicts the exterior of one of the buildings that served food. You can see pots of chocolate or coffee on the round table in the foreground. The hall in the Augarten was used for concerts beginning in the later eighteenth-century. The concerts took place in the summer in the morning hours. Mozart played there in 1782 with an organizer named Martin. An important anecdote about Beethoven concerns a later concert at the Augarten that was recounted by the widow of the composer and fortepianist Johann Baptist Cramer: ?At an Augarten concert the two pianists were waling together and hearing Mozart?s Pianoforte Concerto in C Minor, K. 491; Beethoven suddenly stood still and, directing his companion?s attention to the exceedingly simple, but equally beautiful motive which is first introduced towards the end of the piece, exclaimed, ?Cramer, Cramer! We shall never be able to do anything like that!? As the theme was repeated and wrought up to the climax, Beethoven, swaying his body to and fro, marked the time and in every possible manner manifested a delight rising to enthusiasm.?
