Johann Strauss I

Johann Strauss I deserves more credit than the shadow of his famous son usually allows. Born in Vienna's Leopoldstadt in 1804, he helped invent the very world of waltzes and marches that would define the city's musical identity. The Radetzky March still closes the Vienna New Year's Concert with an entire hall clapping in unison, a piece of his that has outlived nearly two centuries. To me that is staggering proof of his gift. I value him as the foundation builder, the father whose energy and lightness made an entire dynasty of dance music possible.
