Biography

Not to be confused with his son Johann Strauss Jr. who wrote more famous works like "The Blue Danube".
Born in Leopoldstadt, now Vienna, March 14, 1804, died September 25, 1849 in Vienna.
He was an Austrian Romantic composer known particularly for his waltzes and for popularizing it alongside Josef Lanner thereby (without intention) setting the foundations for his sons to carry on his musical dynasty. His most famous piece, however, is probably the Radetzky March (named after Joseph Radetzky von Radetz) whereas his most famous waltz is probably the Lorelei Rhine Klänge op. 154.
