Gustav Klimt painted a set of murals interpreting Beethoven's 9th Symphony.? This section evokes the darkness, empty pleasure-seeking and search for meaning Klimt heard in the early movements of the symphony: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/album170/PA200075.jpg.html> And this panel shows the final "Ode to Joy" movement: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/album170/PA200072.jpg.html> (These are displayed on the LUG gallery to avoid running afoul of any bluenoses on flickr or Facebook). August Rodin came to the exhibit.? And another French visitor found things to his taste. <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/49041635662/in/dateposted-public/> Here is a Holocaust memorial in the Servitengasse neighborhood.
