OTD in Music History: Composer and conductor Johann Strauss II (1825 – 1899) is born in Vienna. Over the span of a long lifetime spent largely before the public, Strauss II – who led his own private dance orchestras and was also one of the most famous conductors of his day – composed over 500 original waltzes, polkas, and quadrilles, as well as several operettas (most notably “Die Fledermaus” in 1874) and a ballet. Strauss II was known as "The Waltz King", and he was largely responsible for establishing the primacy of the waltz as the predominant popular dance form across Europe in the 19th Century. Some of Strauss II’s most famous works in that vein include "The Blue Danube" (1866), "Tales from the Vienna Woods" (1868), and "Frühlingsstimmen" (“Spring’s Voice”) (1882), and the "Kaiser-Walzer" (“Emperor Waltz”) (1889). Even though he almost exclusively wrote “light” music, Strauss II was widely admired by other prominent composers. Richard Wagner (1813 – 1883) once admitted that he liked the waltz "Wein, Weib und Gesang" (“Wine, Women and Song”), and, in the course of composing his famous waltz series from his opera “Rosenkavalier” (1911), Richard Strauss (1864 - 1949) – unrelated – remarked: "How could I forget the laughing genius of Vienna?" The most touching anecdote in this regard comes down to us thanks to Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897), however, who was a close personal friend of Strauss II. Strauss II’s, wife, Adele, once allegedly approached Brahms with a customary request that he autograph her fan. The usual practice at that time was for a composer to inscribe a few measures of his best-known music, and then sign his name. Brahms, however, inscribed a few measures from the "Blue Danube," and then wrote beneath it, "Unfortunately NOT by Johannes Brahms."

On patrol, as a multitasker, Bruce would definitely listen to some Nirvana or Chopin (no in-between) in one ear. While he receives info through the bat-com in the other.

I can clearly picture the Dark Knight swinging at goons with Strauss's An der schönen, blauen Donau blasting in his ear.

[redstrewn]

Omg i didnt know the title of this song until now but this is legit the stereotypical waltz song innit. [Slaps the leander sticker on it]

[married-to-a-redhead]

I am sure normal people listen to popular music on Friday nights but this is the kind of music that helps me unwind on a Friday evening. I am so not normal.
