Q26: Which instrument did not feature prominently in Strauss II's compositions?

  • Violin

  • Cello

  • Piano

  • Drums

Answer

Johann Strauss II, often called the "Waltz King", was a famous Austrian composer of the 19th century. He is best known for his waltzes, but he also wrote operettas, marches, and other types of music. Drums were not a prominent instrument in his compositions, as they were not typically used in waltzes or other dance music. However, drums were used in some of his marches, such as the Radetzky March.
