Review
Son of the composer Johann Strauss father, who opposed his steps, debuted with his own orchestra in 1844 and ended up exceeding his father's fame. His tours took him all over Europe and to the United States.
Its waltz, polks and operas are the sound band of the Imperial Vienna, and every January 1 they sound at the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert. Brahms, his admirer, regretted not having written him The Blue Danube.
