Introduction to the famous composer johann strauss?

Johann strauss, his English name is johann strauss. Austria is a very famous composer, conductor, violinist and pianist. Born into a musical family, not only is the music gene very strong, but it is also closely related to his acquired efforts.

I remember the book said that his father John? Strauss, a self-taught musician, established the music dynasty at that time and was called "the father of waltz". John surpassed his father and wrote The Blue Danube.

His life's creative activities can be roughly divided into three periods.

The first phase is before 1863. During this period, he basically followed the classical model of Vienna Waltz, but compared with his parents' works, he had more elegant and noble vitality of his time.

The second issue is 1864- 1870. During this period, his creation has matured. The Blue Danube was a work at that time, which was later known as the "second national anthem of Austria", showing the recognition of its works by Austrian literary and art circles. (The picture below shows a corner of the blue Danube)

The third issue is1871-1899. During this period, he mainly engaged in operetta creation. Bat (1874) and The Gypsy Baron (1885) stand out among Austrian operettas and are John's best works. (The picture below shows a corner of the Gypsy area. )

Johann strauss had many musical works in his life. The Blue Danube consolidated his position as "the king of waltzes" and was good at composing waltzes. Strauss followed in his father's footsteps all his life, adding a lot of color to Austrian music history.
