什么是小史特劳斯
Strauss, Johann (Baptist), Jr.
奥地利作曲家。他的父亲老约翰.史特劳斯（1804～1849）是一个自学成材的音乐家，曾在维也纳建立起一个音乐的王国。作为一名小提琴手，他从1819年起开始在一个舞蹈乐队演奏，当该乐队在1824年分裂为两部分後，小史特劳斯参加了第二组，并开始谱写华尔兹、加洛普舞（galop）、波卡舞（polka）和卡德利尔舞（quadrille），总共发表了两百五十多部作品。作为当地乐团的指挥，他还写了一些进行曲，包括《拉特斯基进行曲》。在他离开家後（1842），他的知名度和作曲量很快超过了父亲，成为着名的「圆舞曲之王」。他後来劝服弟弟约瑟夫（1827～1870）和爱德华（1835～1916）来接替他的指挥职务，因此赢得了更多的创作时间，谱写他最着名的交响华尔兹，包括《蓝色多瑙河》（1867）和《维也纳森林的故事》（1868）。小歌剧有广受欢迎的《蝙蝠》（1874）和《吉普赛男爵》（1885）。爱德华的儿子约拿（1866～1939）也曾在柏林担任指挥和作曲，是这个音乐家族最後一名成员。
1825～1899年
Strauss, Johann (Baptist), Jr.
Austrian composer. His father, Johann Strauss, Sr. (1804-1849), was a self-taught musician who established a musical dynasty in Vienna. A violinist, he played in a dance orchestra from 1819; when it split in two (1824), he took over the second group, for which he began to write waltzes, galops, polkas, and quadrilles, eventually publishing more than 250 works. As bandmaster of a local regiment, he also wrote marches, including the Radetsky-March. After he left his family (1842), Johann Jr. soon surpassed his father's popularity and productivity, becoming known as the “Waltz King.” By inducing his brothers, Josef (1827-1870) and Eduard (1835-1916), to take over his conducting duties, he gained more time to compose the symphonic waltzes for which he is best known, including The Beautiful Blue Danube (1867) and Tales from the Vienna Woods (1868). His operettas include the popular Die Fledermaus (1874) and The Gypsy Baron (1885). Eduard's son Johann (1866-1939), a conductor and composer in Berlin, was the last of the dynasty.
