| Summary |
The saga of the Strauss family is an epic story spanning more than 85 years. From father Johann Strauss to his son Schanni (Johann, Jr., later to be known as the Waltz king), it was a tradition not only of music, but of the wealth, fame and jealousies common to popular musicians throughout the ages. |
