Summary
- The Löwenberg collection, purchased in 1938, contains first editions of nearly all the works of the Lanner and Strauss families, the nineteenth-century "waltz kings" of Vienna. These rival families produced six composers who excelled in the writing and conducting of dance music: Josef Lanner (1801-1843), August Lanner (1834-1855), Johann Strauss the elder (1804-1849), Johann Strauss the younger (1825-1899), Josef Strauss (1827-1870), and Eduard Strauss (1835-1916). The unbound sheet music is broken down by composer and type (such as waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, and marches) and filed by title within each category. Löwenberg's indexes list items in the collection by title and opus number. The collection has been microfilmed. Contains over 1,600 published piano scores of 19th century Viennese dance music and four volumes of lists and clippings on composers and their music compiled by collector.
