Johann Strauss was called The King of Three Quarter Time because he was a prolific composer known for his numerous waltzes, which are typically written in triple meter, or three-quarter time. Strauss revolutionized the waltz genre and popularized it throughout Europe during the 19th century. His mastery of composing elegant and captivating waltzes solidified his reputation as the foremost composer of this dance form, earning him the title of The King of Three Quarter Time.
Three of Johann Strauss II's sons are Johann Strauss III, Joseph Strauss, and Eduard Strauss. Johann Strauss II, often referred to as "The Waltz King," was the most famous of the Strauss family. His sons also contributed to the family legacy in music, particularly in the genres of waltzes and operettas.
Johann Strauss Jr. had three brothers: Joseph, Eduard, and Johann Strauss III. While Joseph and Eduard were also involved in music, Johann Strauss III did not achieve the same level of fame as his brother Johann Jr. Each brother contributed to the family's musical legacy in different ways.
Johann Strauss I had three children with his mistress, Maria Anna Streim.
