Another concert questions - Salzburg and Vienna

Hello,

I have read and re-read so many threads about concerts and did think I should just start another thread.

Background: BA in piano performance (classical, in the broad sense), so something just geared for tourists isn't my first choice although I might have to settle.

Dates :Salzburg Thursday September 3-September 6 a.m. (thinking of attending the church Mozart was baptized in Sunday morning).

Sunday September 6 train to Vienna and there Sunday-Wed nights, fly home Thursday.

Am I just too early to see all the best concerts? Or is it a bit of a lull with the Music Festival just ending before our arrival?

Considering either of these in Vienna, very happy for feedback:

coming up short in Salzburg:

Thank you for any ideas. I am hoping I'm just too early. I realize I should have planned my trip around music but we had family things to plan around for this trip and I'm just thankful we can take it, but it wouldn't really seem complete without a concert or two or more.

In general you are too early and the programs you have listed are generally geared for tourists . That does not mean that they are poor quality . As I had written in a previous post , the season actually gets underway about a month later in October
