Johann Strauss Jr.

在 Zen Virtual Piano 探索 Johann Strauss Jr. 的钢琴琴谱。 Strauss Jr. studied the violin secretly as a child with Franz Amon, the first violinist of his father's orchestra. His father once caught him practicing and whipped him severely, saying he meant to beat the music out of the boy. A boy whipped for practicing in secret began his music against the wishes of his father. Joseph Lanner died on 14 April 1843, and after that Johann decided to give up his studies and become a professional musician, perfecting his violin playing with Anton Kohlmann while taking lessons in figured bass from Joseph Drechsler. His father tried in vain, through official submissions to the authorities, to stop the debut, which took place on 15 October 1844 at Dommayer's Casino in Hietzing; the orchestra had twenty-four musicians. A career that began in a casino concert in spite of official objections from his father shows how firmly the choice was made. When the revolutions of 1848 came, the rivalry between father and son grew plainer, and the son chose to side with the revolutionaries. The post of Music Director of the Royal Court Balls came to him at last in 1863; earlier applications had been turned down several times because of his frequent brushes with the local authorities. A man who sided with revolutionaries and then won a post at the court balls shows a career that crossed the lines of the time. The Blue Danube, Op. 314, is a waltz by Strauss composed in 1866, and after the music was written the words were added by the Choral Association's poet, Joseph Weyl. Its first performance was considered only a mild success, and Strauss is reputed to have said that the devil could take the waltz and that his only regret was for the coda, which he wished had been a success. His output of over 500 waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, marches and other dance music was joined by several operettas and a ballet; he died of pneumonia in Vienna on 3 June 1899. A waltz that drew only a mild reception, together with a remark about its coda, gives a small view of how its composer weighed his own work.
