Which Austrian has had the most impact?

[M forever]

Mozart and Mahler weren't Austrians. Salzburg was not part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during Mozart's lifetime. Mahler was a subject of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but he was Bohemian German, not Austrian. Not any more than Dvořák or Janáček or Bartók.

[Wanderer]

Quite true but irrelevant, as Arnie is the clear choice.

[Wendell_E]

Quite true but irrelevant, as Arnie is the clear choice.

I agree, definitely Arnie Schoenberg.  But why aren't Albie Berg and Antie Webern on the list?   

[Hector]

Clearly, it's Hit Ler.

His bombs and racial policies had the greatest impact of all, surely?

[Florestan]

Salzburg was not part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during Mozart's lifetime.

OTOH, there was no such thing as an Austro-Hungarian Empire during Mozart's lifetime.

Voted for Johann Strauss II just to mess with everybody's minds.

obviously, without Strauss, you won't have that lovely segment on 2001 a space odyssey, i'll vote for him too!

That's Richard...

[Ephemerid]

That's Richard...

Actually, its both!    --The Blue Danube is used in the opening scene immediately following the ape-men/monolith scene) and then of course, the opening of Zarathustra.

I vote for Steve Irwin

Irwin wasn't Austrian.  Melbourne was not part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during Irwin 's lifetime.

[bwv 1080]

Irwin wasn't Austrian.  Melbourne was not part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during Irwin 's lifetime.

In that case I will just vote for FA Hayek, or perhaps Charlemagne

[Wanderer]

I hope he gets out of the frame before pulling the trigger.

The one and only : Schnitzel.

This dish, consisting of a thin slice of meat coated in breadcrumbs and fried comes from the times of the Romans and is a common dish in many countries.

[Symphonien]

Why, Schönberg of course!
