Josef Strauss (20 August 1827 – 22 July 1870) was an Austrian composer. He was born in Mariahilf (now Vienna), the son of Johann Strauss I and Maria Anna Streim, and brother of Johann Strauss II and Eduard Strauss. His father wanted him to choose a career in the Austrian Habsburg military. He studied music with Franz Dolleschal and learned to play the violin with Franz Anton Ries Even though Josef Strauss was a more serious (even depressed) member of the famous Strauss family of musicians, quite capable of writing music of darker character, he also had the talent to write cheery fluff. This polka is just that, and while it may not conjure up images of a jockey riding a horse, it will impart a playful sense of madcap hustle with the bustle of its colorful notes. Lasting but a mere two minutes, this delightful work will appeal to Strauss enthusiasts and lovers of light classics.
