Tips

At the unveiling in 1921, the Vienna Philharmonic played the waltz "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" composed by Johann Strauss (son).

The Strauss monument depicts the composer as the world imagines him: as a violin-playing waltz king standing in front of his orchestra. The figure is made of gold-plated bronze; underneath is an inscribed base, behind which is a marble arch decorated with leaves.

Johann Strauss (son) lived from 1825 to 1899. Because of his focus on dance music, he is considered the waltz king par excellence. He also wrote the music for operettas that are still performed today ("Die Fledermaus", "Der Zigeunerbaron").
