Vienna 3 / Narrative 1
Tradition (Bettina)

This is a temple of art, Franz? O ye Muses! A seraglio for the Sultan. Ornate and decadent riot. Art should be wingèd, yes, but ethically eagle-eyed. This farrago of yours, Franz, comes from the Secession’s mad notion that art orders thought and feeling instead of expressing them. But you know the truth. Architecture is suspended music, and music is the heartbeat of the soul. Therefore look to Mozart.
