　　His father,a well-known musician.

　　(11)-{was a strange and moody man

　　He did not want any of his children to be musician

　　He whipped young Johann because the boy insisted he wanted to study music.

　　At last,Jonann (12)-{left his family permanently.

　　He (13)-{griened over leaving the family} because the wonderful music he always had with him at home was gone forever.

　　The only good thing about the family separation

　　it seemed,was that young Johann would be free to study music.

　　The dance called the waltz (14)-{developed from a peasant dance} in three-quarter time.

　　so it was only natural that Johann (15)-{would be attracted to it}.

　　The orchestra Johann's father had directed was prepared to disband when the elder Strauss suddenly died.

　　Young Johann (16)-{offered to take his father's place.

　　Most of the musicians questioned that a young man would expect to (17)-{fill the shoes of a famous father.

　　They did not take into consideration that the son already

　　had an orchestra of his own which was becoming well-know.

　　Finally,one of the members persuaded the others

　　let the two orchestras be combine.

　　Their first performance (18)-{was a memorial concert} played in his father's honor.

　　Soon Vienna (19)-{was paying tributes to the son.}

　　He wrote such famous waltzes as Tales from the Vienna Woods and The Beautiful Blue Damub

　　and his music is still played today.
