Summary: This week we have the third piece of the puzzle of the greatest composers of all time. Robert Lloyd will talk about the life of Johann Strauss Jr, the Waltz King. Robert will give us the real story of who he is and why. He will discuss: *Was Strauss Jewish? If so, how much? Is it important? *He was named for his father, but who was his father? *Why would a man work against his own son? *How did Johann start his orchestra and how did they try and support themselves in a world of more famous symphonies? *Was he a 'chip off the old block' with his many affairs? *Why did he choose the waltz beat to write music? Enjoy this show of one of the all time greats. Contact Robert at robertlloydmusic@cs.com.
