Nearly
all of the Strauss family contributed to make Vienna the capital of the
waltz, but history will mainly remember Johann Strauss the son as the "King of the Waltz". The Emperor waltz was composed in the last years
of his life. It has opus number 437 and is the crowning work of a life
devoted to the waltz and other compositions generally termed as "light
music". |
