Issued in 1975, commemorating 150 years of his birth.
In 1999 Austria again honoured him with a stamp for the 100th Anniversary of his birth.
In the same year a stamp was issued for the 150th Anniversary of the death of Johann Strauss (Senior) who was also a well known composer in his time but was surpassed by his son in fame and adulation.
I find that stamp collecting adds to my interest in other things and vice versa.
After I posted the pics of Beethoven stamps I started thinking that I hadn't heard any of his music for quite awhile. So I plopped in a CD and enjoyed again listening to Beethoven's Symphony No.6 Pastoral which is one of my favourites.
This Austrian Miniature Sheet issued in 1969 for the 100th Anniversary of the opening of the Vienna State Opera House portrays eight famous operas which have been presented there over the years.
Yes I have whole bunch of Austrian stamps but none of the valuable ones. But luckily the beauty in stamps has for the most part nothing to do with their value.
