Mozart's Attic - Sunday, Dec 1st at 6:00 pm

Johann Strauss
Johann Strauss

We look at some of the lighter music associated with Vienna in the 19th century this week: works of Johann Strauss, the Waltz KIng; Franz von Suppe, the operetta impressario; and others from the days of gemutlichkeit and schmaltz.
 
Later in the program, we'll hear another side of Vienna with music of Arnold Schoenberg and Gustav Mahler.

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years. He began his association with WFIT in the late '90s as a dumpster diver for office furniture in response to a broadcast plea for a new chair from a frustrated disc jockey. (WFIT has come a long way since.)
