How was Johann Strauss the younger and Johann Strauss the elder related?

Answer 1

Josef and Eduard

Answer 2

No. Richard Strauss' (1864-1949) father was Franz Strauss.

There were three Johann Strauss'

• Johann Strauss I (1804-1849)
• Johann Strauss II (1825-1899) - He was the son of Johann I
• Johann Strauss III (1866-1939) - He was the son of Eduard Strauss and grandson of Johann I

Johann Strauss II is the most famous, and the composer most often referred to by this name. His brothers were Josef and Eduard, who were also composers of Viennese dance music

Answer 3

Richard Strauss and Johann Strauss II have in common their surname (Strauss, not Struass), their native language (German), their occupation (composers), and, to a limited extent, some of the musical genres in which they composed. They were not related, and not close contemporaries, Richard being born about 40 years after Johann and dying 50 years later than he. Richard was German, Johann Austrian. Johann spent his life in Vienna, and Richard spent some of his later years there. Johann is noted for writing Viennese waltzes and operettas. Richard wrote more serious operas and orchestral music, although he did also produce some Viennese-style waltz compositions (for example in Der Rosenkavalier).
