Summary
An account of the final sixteen years of Eduard’s life, plus the nature of the posthumous reputation of other members of the Strauss dynasty, including the musical ambition of Eduard’s elder son, Johann Maria Eduard Strauss. Eduard’s memoirs are discussed, as well as the melodramatic destruction of the performance library of the Strauss Orchestra. His final illness and death ran in counterpoint with that of the emperor, Franz Joseph.
