During his lifetime, Johann Strauss Jr.(1825-1899) was one of the most popular composers in his native city of Vienna.Although it has been over a century since his death, his renown continues unabated.Even the most uninterested tourist in Vienna would find it difficult to avoid Strauss Jr.altogether.The official website of the city includes a twenty-four-hour webcam that features the statue of the composer.As you board an Austrian Airlines flight, the waltzes of Strauss Jr.play.In Vienna’ s first district, where many of the city’s historical buildings are located, dozens of sales people dressed in replica eighteenth-century costumes sell tickets to go hear concerts prominently featuring Strauss Jr.waltzes along with Mozart and other Austrian favorites.Even a walk around the main thorough-fare, the Ringstrasse, includes the gleaming gold statue of Strauss Jr.in the Stadtpark—the same statue featured on the city’s webcam.
But the Strauss Jr.phenomenon is no mere show for visitors.Key Viennese events also incorporate his compositions, such as the annual New Year’s Concert held at Vienna’ s Musikverein and the many balls that take place around the city before Lent.Because it has become so common place, it is easy to think of the Strauss waltz as a kitschy memento from a by gone era, one that offers little commentary on social or political events.However, a more careful look beneath this ephemeral surface reveals a complex history intertwining this repertoire and Vienna.
To claim that the Strauss family wrote the most Austrian of Austrian music might appear to be an exaggeration.After all, Austriahas been called "the land of music" because of the contributions fromits many illustrious composers.Yet at the same time, Austria is by no means the only nation to make such a claim.Germans also have great pride in their musical heritage, a tradition that can be dated back to the early years of the eighteenth century.Music is just one of many cultural traits that the two nations have in common, and such ambiguities caused considerable difficulties as Austrians attempted to create a cohesive national identity.The concept of modern-day Austria itself is a twentieth-century one.Prior to the Habsburg collapse in 1918 there was no desire to create a separate nation of the German-speaking regions.Indeed, this idea would be contrary to the central tenet of nationalism:ethnic groups, delineated throughshared culture, should occupy their own territory.Language was often considered the best indicator of where boundaries should be since it was viewed as a fundamental expression of culture.In this model, the only logical solution was to merge Germany and Austria together, an idea that failed to gain much interest during the nineteenth century.
