Josef STRAUSS |
AmazonUK AmazonUS |
The sheer size of the output of the members of the Strauss family never ceases to amaze me. One has to remember, however, that a high proportion of that output and particularly that of the brothers Johan II, Josef and Edward, had a very short life in public esteem. This was often a matter of weeks or at most a few months, before a piece was superseded in the Strauss orchestra’s repertoire by something newer. Even if a dance movement was published for piano, as often happened, the sheet music was played in Viennese drawing-rooms for a short period before being consigned to the depths of the piano stool. A few popular titles remained, and remain, in the public view. |
