Joseph Lanner - His Music and His Life
The Austrian Joseph Lanner, Godfather of Waltz, was born in Vienna on April 12, 1801. As a self-educated person, Lanner joined a string quintet together with viola player Johann Strauss, Kind of Waltz ("Blue Danube" and many more).
Langer enlarged this quintet formation gradually up to a wellknown orchestra.
Lanner started to compose dances - all-in-all 200 (!) waltzes! Beethoven and Schubert also used this composition format already in their so-called German dances.
In Lanner's waltzes swing the cozy sound of Vienna's conventional life.
Joseph Lanner passed away in Oberdoebling nearby Vienna on April 14, 1843.
