After Johann Strauss the Elder died in 1849, his son, Johann Strauss the Younger, consolidated his orchestra with his father’s and toured Austria, Poland, and Germany. He earned the title the Waltz King because the waltzes he performed, composed by his father and himself, came to epitomize the gaiety and sentiment of Vienna during the 19th century. In 1863 Strauss was appointed Imperial Music Director in Vienna, where he performed for court balls until 1871, when he turned to the theater to compose operettas.
