Description:
Josef Strauss was an Austrian composer and brother of Johann jr. and Eduard. He joined the 'Strauss' family orchestra, along with his brothers Johann and Eduard in the 1850s.
He wrote 283 opus numbers amongst them waltzes (Sphären-Klänge), Polkas, Quadrilles and other dance music. One of his last compositions is the polka Plappermäulchen (Chatterboxes). A wonderful character piece! One can almost see the faces of the chatterboxes as they share the latest gossip - everyone eager to share their insight and embellishing the details. And the oboe 'getting the last word' is beyond clever.
