Springtime in Munich

Munich, the capital of Bavaria is a wonderful city famous for many things and dear to many people for their own reason, or two, or a dozen. "Munich loves you" is the city’s motto and that is indeed so. Apart from being the host city of the world-known beer festival called Oktoberfest, Munich has much more to offer.

The lovers of German cars would be delighted to visit this motherland of the renowned BMW car maker. Those who love history and museums would definitely enjoy walking a lot in the impressive center that has been kept pedestrian since the 1972 Olympics. Only here would you see office workers having a beer and getting some sun tan in the nudist area during the lunch break. Gourmets would start licking their fingers looking at the yummy white sausages with sweet mustard and pretzels. And if you consider moving to Germany, Munich would be the best destination as it is considered to be the most economically highly-developed German city with the lowest unemployment rate and the highest level of life. It simply tops the list of best places to live in in Germany. Getting back to the music theme, one cannot but mention the fact that Munich is the host town for numerous composers like the great Richard Wagner, Carl Maria von Webber, Strauss and others. Bavarian State Opera and Bavarian State Orchestra are situated here. So weighty is the city’s heritage that musicians from all over the world keep being inspired by it, dedicating their works to the heart of Germany.
One of such composers is Shao Suan Low who wrote her Springtime in Munich for Flute and Piano for it.
Although, according to the composer, she stayed there for two weeks in Autumn, the town’s atmosphere felt completely like spring. The soothing piece came out as a result and one more charmed heart was open for Munich.
