Biography

Strauss (Tatsuki Hashimoto) is a electronic indie musician from Japan.

or may refer to any of at least five classical composers:

1. Johann Strauss II (October 25, 1825 – June 3, 1899), Austrian composer, the son of Johann Strauss I (who was actually against his son’s career as a musician) and also known as “the Waltz King”. He revolutionized the waltz, elevating it from a lowly peasant dance to entertainment fit for the imperial Habsburg court. Most famous works include “The Blue Danube”, “Wein, Weib und Gesang”, “Tales from the Vienna Woods”, “Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka”, the “Kaiser-Walzer”, and the operetta “Die Fledermaus”.

2. Richard Strauss (June 11, 1864 – September 8, 1949), German composer of the late romantic era, no relation to the Austrian Strausses, and best known for the composition “Also Sprach Zarathustra”. Although not as well known as Johann Strauss II in popular culture, he is considered the greater composer by many serious students of classical music.

3. Johann Strauss I (March 14, 1804 – September 25, 1849), father of Johann Strauss II and Josef Strauss. His most famous piece is probably the Radetzky March (named after Joseph Radetzky von Radetz) whereas his most famous waltz is probably the Lorelei Rhine Klänge op. 154.

4. Josef Strauss (August 20, 1827 - July 22, 1870), son and brother respectively of Johann Strauss I and II.

5. Eduard Strauss (15 March 1835 – 28 December 1916) was an Austrian composer who, together with brothers Johann Strauss II and Josef Strauss formed the Strauss musical dynasty. The family dominated the Viennese light music world for decades, creating many waltzes and polkas for Austrian emperors and their courtiers. He was affectionately known in his family as ‘Edi’.

    ...talking about Richard, just got it right now here.. (some Salomé opéra thingies...) : just before i had Johann II ... waiting eagerly for Johann I now lol . damn, those classics!... must really have cool nerves and be ready for everything in tags surprises lol... ok, so far, got it right..crossing fingers (cool Strauss family and cases btw..another one) :)) ps; i will go on with Strauss/Strauss I/ Strauss II only in standard names though, but differentiating in id3v2 composer fields for real long names and details..last.fm can't read the composer field though (normal)..classic funny surprises going on so..but neat enough on my players here at least))

    This name should NOT autocorrect/redirect to "Johann Strauss II", because there is at least one other highly notable composer by that name, Richard Strauss (and a couple of other less notable ones). Until last.fm supports disambiguation by track title, anything tagged as simply "Strauss" should be considered mistagged or insufficiently tagged.
