Papa Strauss -- though much respected for his music-making as leader of a very popular dance band, and as the Austrian emperor's go-to guy for court balls and dances -- was an abysmal father.
The gig was a hit, and Strauss was on his way to becoming a competitor of his father's until the latter's death five years later.
While the whole city knew that Strauss, then 73, had been ill, when conductor Eduard Kremser was handed a note saying the venerable composer was dead, he stopped the concert and began the sublime opening to Blue Danube.

As Franz Josef Strauss's guest at lunch in Munich, I had asked him whether he had ever tried to explain the Soviet threat to Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
That answer, from the irreplaceable leader of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU), was typical of the man and symptomatic of the extreme frustration he felt after his double failure: to win the federal elections in 1980, and to be given control of foreign affairs in Kohl's 1983 coalition.
Strauss's career was blighted by the Spiegel affair of 1962, now known to have been a highly successful KGB ploy designed to force Strauss to quit as Dr. Adenauer's defense minister.
