| | Johann Strauss I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Strauss died in Vienna in 1849 from scarlet fever. | | | With Johann senior's open declaration of his paternity of a daughter borne to Emilie, Maria Anna sued for divorce in 1844 and allowed Johann junior to actively pursue a musical career. | | | His step-mother sought to place him as an apprentice to a bookbinder Johann Lichtscheidl, but he took lessons in the violin and viola in addition to fulfilling his apprenticeship. |

| | Johann Strauss II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Strauss' music is now regularly performed at the annual Neujahrskonzert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, thanks to the efforts of the late Clemens Krauss who performed a special all-Strauss programme in 1929 with the established orchestra. | | | The highlight of the Strauss triumvirate was displayed in the concert of 'Perpetual Music' in 1860s where his aptly titled 'Perpetuum Mobile' musical joke op.257 was played continuously by all three Strauss brothers at the helm of three large orchestras. | | | Many distinguished Strauss interpreters include Willi Boskovsky who carried on the "Vorgeiger" tradition of conducting with violin in hand as is the Strauss family custom as well as the famous Herbert von Karajan and the opera conductor Riccardo Muti. |

| | Fortunately, he was spending so much time with Fraulein Tramp that he didn't notice his wife was secretly arranging music study for Junior -- with the concertmaster of Papa's own band. | | | As much to provide money for his mother and four siblings as anything else, Junior (who will henceforth be referred to as Strauss) put together a 24-piece band and applied for a license to present his own concerts. | | | That sounds like a lot of assistants, until you consider the ensemble he was leading numbered a jaw-dropping 20,000 singers and instrumentalists. |

| | For Strauss done in that special Viennese style on compact disc, Willi Boskovsky's recordings on the London label with the Vienna Philharmonic are among the best currently available. | | | At first, quadrilles used folk tunes, but Strauss' quadrilles employ songs and opera arias that were popular in his day. | | | It's also worth sampling the ``Johann Strauss Edition'' on the Hong Kong label, which will eventually offer all Strauss' music on more than 30 separate CDs. |

Kohlmann). | | | Then he made up his own musical band, making his debut just on the evening of the 15th of October 1844 at the restaurant Dommayer and earning the enormous success above-mentioned. | | | Joseph was a musician of great talent; he has left 280 compositions. |
