March 15 - Eduard Strauss (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Eduard Strauss (15 March 1835 – 28 December 1916) was an Austrian composer and member of the famous Strauss family.

Inheritance

Eduard Strauss, the other son,
Lived, just as his dad had done,
Paying all his earthly bills
With waltzes, polkas, and quadrilles.

Playing dances that would please
The ever-dancing Viennese.
And thriving in this venture, he
Outlasted his own century.
