Strauss, Johann, the Younger

The feeling of warm friendship existing between Brahms and Johann Strauss has been commemorated in several well-known anecdotes.

On leaving Walter's he generally betook himself to a friend's house, most frequently that of Johann Strauss.

It was then conducted by the great Johann Strauss, Brahms' particular friend, and he used to walk over every evening to hear it.

What was he like, then, this Mr. Johann Strauss of the flourishy signature?

That is Johann Strauss, the man who married and, it may be found, killed my sister.
