Johann Strauss
Johann Strauss II, often referred to as the 'Waltz King,' was an Austrian composer born on October 25, 1825. He is best known for his waltzes, polkas, and operettas, with 'The Blue Danube' being one of his most famous works. Strauss played a pivotal role in popularizing the waltz as a dance form in the 19th century, and his compositions remain a staple in classical music repertoires and Viennese ball culture. He passed away on June 3, 1899, leaving behind a legacy that endures in both concert halls and dance floors worldwide.
