[07:44.48]He wrote his first waltz at the age of six. [07:49.68].His father,a conductor and also a famous waltz composer, [07:56.26]did not want Johann to follow a music career. [08:01.18]After graduation.Johann became a bank clerk,but his ambition [08:09.77]to be a musician was still with him.Meanwhile, [08:15.57]encouraged by his mother,Johann secretly studied the violin [08:22.57]and musical composition.Then,at the age of nineteen, [08:29.68]he decided to leave his job and to devote himself to music. [08:35.97]Thus,Johann formed his own orchestra [08:41.17]and played in a fashionable restaurant his orchestra andmusic [08:47.99]were very popular with the public. [08:52.38]But,Johann's father was angry with him for disobeying his wish. [08:58.38]When his father died,Johann combined his own orchestra [09:04.97]with that of his father's and made a successful tour of Austria, [09:11.05]Poland Germany and Russia.Wherever he played, [09:17.17]his beautiful waltzes won the hearts of his audience [09:22.55]and soon he became known throughout Europe as "The Waltz King" [09:28.95]although he also wrote many other dance tunes. [09:34.56]The Emperor of Austria was so pleased with Johann's music [09:41.15]that he appointed Johann the conductor at the imperial court balls of Vienna [09:49.04]Later on,Johann found that he had no time to compose while working as a conductor [09:58.02]so he resigned and handed his orchestra over to his brothers. [10:04.60]Johann then settled down in Vienna [10:10.12]where he began composing operettasor light musical comedies. [10:17.01]Altogether he wrote 16 operettas and all of them became very successful. [10:25.32]He also composed the popular ballet "Cinderella". [10:31.20]In all,the talented Johann Strauss wrote more than 500 waltzes, [10:38.88]dance tunes and operettas.The light and charming tunes [10:45.69]he composed give us a musical pictureof the life of Europe as it was in his time. [10:54.08]His music is still very popular today and is played by light orchestras [11:01.58]as well as large symphony orchestras; [11:06.36]and even modern musical groups have given some of his tunes a new beat
