But plenty have indeed left an indelible impression on world history. For example…. Some of the greatest names in classical music form a self-contained collection of well-kept graves within the cemetery, with most located in Group 32A. One or two passed away well before the city opened the Zentralfriedhof in The great composer and perhaps the most famous of all the cemetery residents died in His burial in the Zentralfriedhof was actually his third.
Group 32A, Grave Another composer born abroad who found fame in Vienna. Brahms died in and lies next to Johann Strauss the son. The most influential of the Strauss family died in Johann Strauss the son is buried along with his last wife, Adele. We include Mozart for completeness, but the memorial to him in the Zentralfriedhof is exactly that: just a memorial.
The real grave is in St. Marx cemetery. He worked with some of the leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim the three were close friends.

Schubert suffered the same fate, but at least both fared better than Mozart. Written on it are the following words in German of course …. He composed over waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, and other types of dance music, as well as several operettas and a ballet.
In his lifetime, he was known as "The Waltz King", and was largely then responsible for the popularity of the waltz in Vienna during the 19th century. Schubert died before his 32nd birthday, but was extremely prolific during his lifetime.
His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works mainly Lieder , seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music. Appreciation of his music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his death.
Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early nineteenth century.
