Composers of the Strauss family
Violinists

The Strauss family — father Johann Sr. (I), and his sons Johann Jr. (II), Josef and Eduard — is famous for its numerous compositions of the dance music that was popular in Vienna in the 19th century. They all wrote many waltzes, polkas, marches and much more dance music. Johann Strauss son was the most famous of them all; he also wrote several well-known operettas.

Composers who also play the violin and as such performed their own or other composer's compositions.
