Beethoven moved apartments constantly in Vienna, but the Pasqualatihaus, owned by Josef Benedikt Baron Pasqualati, was the closest thing he had to a stable home — he lived on and off in its fourth-floor rooms for roughly eight years. It was there he worked on his opera Fidelio, his Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth symphonies, and smaller pieces including Für Elise; the apartment is now a small dedicated memorial museum holding some of his personal effects.
At the Secession Building, Klimt's Beethoven Frieze was created in 1902 specifically for the Secession's own Beethoven-themed exhibition that April through July — a direct physical link between Vienna's visual-art rebels and the composer they chose to honor nearly 75 years after his death.
Beethoven also performed at what's now called the Eroica Hall, inside the former Palais Lobkowitz: Prince Lobkowitz converted part of the palace into a festive concert hall in 1799, and Beethoven appeared there several times, including a well-documented 1800 piano "duel" against the composer Daniel Steibelt.
The Akademie der Wissenschaften, Vienna's Academy of Sciences, occupies the building that once housed the university's great hall, the Alte Aula — and it was there, in 1813 and 1814, that Beethoven organized and conducted real concerts of his own music. His best-known premiere, the Ninth Symphony in 1824, actually took place elsewhere, at the Theater am Kärntnertor — but these earlier Aula concerts make the Academy building a genuine, lesser-known stop on his real Vienna career.
