Q29: Who influenced Strauss II's decision to become a composer?

  • His Mother

  • His Father

  • His Uncle

  • No one. It was his own decision

Answer

Johann Strauss II decided to become a composer all on his own. His father, Johann Strauss I, was a very famous composer, and it would have been natural for Strauss II to follow in his father's footsteps. However, Strauss II was determined to make his own name in the world of music, and he did so by composing some of the most famous and beloved waltzes of all time.
