Strauss vater

The mortal remains of Strauss Father can now be found, still alongside those of Joseph Lanner, in a grave of honour of the City of Vienna in the Musicians’ Grove at the Central Cemetery.

He wrote more than 280 pieces of delightful dance-music!

Johann Strauss I, etching from 1835

Johann Strauss I (March 14, 1804 – September 25, 1849; German: Johann Baptist Strauß, Johann Strauss (Vater); also Johann Baptist Strauss, Johann Strauss, Sr., the Elder, the Father), born in Vienna, was an AustrianRomanticcomposer famous for his waltzes, and for popularizing them alongside Joseph Lanner, thereby setting the foundations for his sons to carry on his musical dynasty.

His guardian, the tailor Anton Müller, placed him as an apprentice to a bookbinder Johann Lichtscheidl; Strauss took lessons in the violin and viola in addition to fulfilling his apprenticeship.[2][3][4] Contrary to a story later told by his son, Johann jun., he never ran away from his bookbinder apprenticeship and in fact successfully completed it in 1822.

This personal decision marked Anna Strauss's conviction to further Johann Strauss II's development as a composer, as Johann Senior had forbidden his sons to undertake music studies at any point of time. 82

  • Paris-Walzer op. Eight more children were to follow.

    In 1833 Strauss began a series of long, well organised tours to other European countries with his own touring orchestra of some thirty players.

      5 Association’s Waltz

    • Wiener Launen-Walzer op. They were written in three-quarter time with a short introduction; often with little or no reference to the later chain of five two-part waltz structure; usually appended with a short coda and concluded in a stirring finish although his son Johann Strauss II expanded the waltz structure and utilized more instruments than his father.

      When he was 12, his father Franz Borgias Strauss was discovered drowned, possibly by suicide, in the Danube river. 133

    • Beliebte Annen-Polka op. 49 Life is a Dance
    • Elisabethen-Walzer op. In 1846, Johann Strauss I was awarded the honorary title of K.K. So at the age of twelve young Johann had lost both his parents, a fact which should not be neglected when it comes to judging his personality.

      During the revolutions of the year 1848 Johann junior certainly sympathised with his public, who tended to be young people taking an active part in these events. Not much is known about his musical education and his first steps as a musician. 3 and also the French national anthem "La Marseillaise" into his "Paris-Walzer" op. Strauss I was a strict disciplinarian in the Strauss home called 'Hirschenhaus' better known in Vienna as the 'Goldener Hirsch' (The Golden Stag), and imposed his will on his sons to pursue careers that were not musically-related.

      Today the site is no longer a cemetery but the Strauss-Lanner Park. The conducting reins and management of this 'Strauss Orchestra' would eventually be passed over to the hands of his sons variously until its disbandment by Eduard Strauss in 1901.

      On a trip to France in 1837 he heard the quadrille and began to compose them himself, becoming largely responsible for introducing that dance to Austria in the 1840 Fasching, where it became very popular.

      In Paris they included famous contemporary musicians such as Adam, Auber, Cherubini, Halévy, Meyerbeer and Berlioz. He died in the night of 24 to 25 September 1849, just forty-five years old.

      One hundred thousand people – approximately one-eighth of the entire population of Vienna at the time – are supposed to have accompanied him on his last journey to Döbling Cemetery, where he was buried alongside Joseph Lanner after his body had previously been consecrated in St Stephen’s Cathedral.

    At the age of seven Johann lost his mother.

    Strauss also adapted various popular melodies of his day into his works so as to ensure a wider audience, as evidenced in the incorporation of the Oberonoverture into his early waltz, "Wiener Carneval" op. This is shown by several of his compositions, for example the March of the Revolution. It was not merely where the family lived; it was here that the music was composed and copied, and it was here that the orchestra rehearsed.

    116 Viennese Sentiments (1840)

  • Lorelei Rhein Klänge op. 9 Sighing
  • Chineser-Galopp op. He soon became one of the best-known and well loved dance composers in Vienna, and he toured with his band to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Britain. But by this time the marriage was no longer a happy one. By this time his charisma and the way in which his performance on the rostrum could captivate audiences were already legendary.

    And so Strauss senior had also premiered a Freedom March as opus 226, for instance.

    On 18 September 1849 he conducted an ‘afternoon entertainment’ in the Volksgarten, an establishment where he very often performed. 42

  • Fortuna-Galopp op. The former Döbling Cemetery is now a Strauss-Lanner Park. He also had two daughters, Anna, who was born in 1829, and Therese, who was born in 1831.

    It was this very trip (in 1837) which has proved Strauss' popularity with audiences from different social backgrounds and this paved the way to forming an ambitious plan to perform his music in England for the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838.
