Named in memory of the Austrian composer Johann Strauss (1825–1899), who represented Viennese dance music at its zenith. The leading master of Viennese operettas (Die Fledermaus, Zigeunerbaron, etc.), he was also the creator of immortal waltzes, such as the An der schönen blauen Donau (Blue Danube), Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald (Tales of the Vienna Woods) and Kaiserwalzer (Kaiser Waltz).
