 * In 1856 Johann was commissioned to supply a set of autumn concerts in St. Petersburg as part of a campaign by Russian industrial magnates to bring the fashionable set to the city.
 * Johann Strauss I himself refused to play ever again at the Dommayer's Casino, which offered his son his conducting debut, and was to tower over his son during his lifetime in terms of career advancement, although Strauss II was to eclipse him in terms of popularity in the classical repertoire.
