Johann Strauss I is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Johann Strauss I as Austrian Romantic composer.
Johann Strauss I was born at Leopoldstadt in 1804. His recorded nationality is Austria.
The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.
He worked as composer and conductor.
The instruments recorded are viola.
His work is classed as classical music.
His best-known work is Radetzky March. What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.
That the work came out of Austria shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Johann Strauss I died in 1849, aged 45. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
