Old Pressburg has a character split between the Danube and the ice rink — a Canoe, Hockey and Skater bench all running several times the global baseline, fed by the river and the old Slovan arena. The outsized Composer signal is the quieter inheritance, from Hummel and the Esterházy court musicians who cycled through on their way between Vienna and Budapest.
