What inspired Johann Strauss to write the Blue Danube?
Walking through the forest, Strauss heard a bird chirping "bom bom bom bom" (the part where violins play 1-2-3-4) And the rest came naturally!
Why was Johann Strauss called The King of Three Quarter Time?
Johann Strauss was called The King of Three Quarter Time because he was a prolific composer known for his numerous waltzes, which are typically written in triple meter, or three-quarter time. Strauss revolutionized the waltz genre and popularized it throughout Europe during the 19th century. His mastery of composing elegant and captivating waltzes solidified his reputation as the foremost composer of this dance form, earning him the title of The King of Three Quarter Time.
Did Johann Strauss have children?
No identity if he had children, but I think he didn't. Strauss married a singer named Henrietta Treffz in 1862, and they remained a couple until her death in 1878. Six weeks after her death, Strauss married an actress named Angelika Dittrich. Dittrich didn't supporter his music much, and their differences in status and opinion etc., and especially her indiscretion, which led him to seek a divorce. Strauss was not granted a divorce by the Roman Catholic Church, and changed religion and nationality, and became a citizen of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (in January 1887). Strauss sought solace in his third wife Adele Deutsch, whom he married in August 1882. She encouraged his creative work and talent to flow once more in his later years, resulting in many famous compositions. I tried to search this very interesting, hidden question. This information (I wrote in my own words) will give you a clue who he married. I think he was over-aged (maybe) to have a child.
