Classical Music Composer Dateline: April 12

In 1820, he built a full orchestra that performed popular dance music in taverns in Vienna and in the Prater --- from a quintet in which he played the violin and Johann Strauss, Sr., the viola. Later, the duo Strauss Sr. and Lanner split forming rival dance bands - laying the foundations of the classical Viennese waltz.
