  • "Program 2: Johann Strauss II. On June 3rd 1899, Johann Strauss the Second died. Our feature traces his life from his early years when his father, Johann Strauss the First, lived sumptouosly with his mistress, while keeping his family on a miserly allowance. The boy's mother did all she could to bring out her son's musical potential, hoping that one day he would rival his father, if not surpass him."
  • "Program 1: Whom the Gods Love. That quotation continues of course "...die young". We consider how many great musicans, artists and writers have died before reaching the age of 38; Arriaga at 19; Keats and Pergolesi at 26; Mozart, [sic] Bellini and Fritz Wunderlich at 34; Raphael, Coleridge Taylor and Purcell at 37."
