OTD in Music History: Composer and conductor Johann Strauss II (1825 – 1899) is born in Vienna. Over the span of a long lifetime spent largely before the public, Strauss II – who led his own private dance orchestras and was also one of the most famous conductors of his day – composed over 500 original waltzes, polkas, and quadrilles, as well as several operettas (most notably “Die Fledermaus” in 1874) and a ballet. In his lifetime, Strauss II was known as "The Waltz King", and he was largely responsible for establishing the primacy of the waltz as the predominant popular dance form across Europe in the 19th Century. Some of Strauss II’s most famous works in that vein include "The Blue Danube" (1866), "Tales from the Vienna Woods" (1868), and "Frühlingsstimmen" (“Spring’s Voice”) (1882), and the "Kaiser-Walzer" (“Emperor Waltz”) (1889). Even though he almost exclusively wrote “light” music, Strauss II was widely admired by other prominent composers. Richarrd Wagner (1813 – 1883) once admitted that he liked the waltz "Wein, Weib und Gesang" (“Wine, Women and Song”), and, in the course of composing his famous waltz series from his opera “Rosenkavalier” (1911), Richard Strauss (1864 - 1949) – unrelated – remarked about Strauss II: "How could I forget the laughing genius of Vienna?" The most touching anecdote in this regard comes down to us thanks to Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897), however, who was also a close personal friend of Strauss II. Strauss II’s, wife, Adele, once allegedly approached Brahms with a customary request that he autograph her fan. The usual practice at the time was for a composer to inscribe a few measures of his best-known music, and then sign his name; Brahms, however, inscribed a few measures from the "Blue Danube", and then wrote beneath it, "Unfortunately, NOT by Johannes Brahms."

Someone stole my Blue Onion teacup and saucer at work either yesterday afternoon/evening or early this morning. 😡

I’ve sent out an email lab-wide, posted fliers on every floor and in every elevator, spoken to the building manager, the security desk, and the people I saw in the SMOC section.

One person is even offering to help me replace them. That’s kind, and I’m looking into replacements now, but I still want the stolen ones returned.
