Music seems to have enlivened the Hapsburg Court since the fifteenth century. The accession of Ferdinand III to the throne started a new line of cultivated music-loving emperors, promoting talented musicians and prolific composers.
Vienna with its Court and musicians became a place for constantly renewed experiences in musical practice, style, composition and interpretation techniques, such as the Ciaconna. 
To show the importance of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and his works, Charles Burney wrote "of all the violin players of the last century, Biber seems to have been the best, and his solos are the most difficult and most fanciful of any music I have seen of the same period."
A virtuoso program !
