The quieter Strauss brother — Josef composed in the shadow of Johann II's waltzes, yet his own work carried a melancholy the ballroom rarely admits.

Biography

About

Josef Luckhardt Strauss was born in Vienna on 20 August 1827, an Austrian composer who spent forty-three years navigating the peculiar burden of sharing a surname with the Waltz King. He died on 22 July 1870, leaving behind music that history filed under "also composed."
