Oscar Straus 6 March 1870 – 11 January 1954 / Johann Strauss, Sr. (1804) , Mar 14

Oscar Straus Viennese conductor and composer of operettas, cabaret songs and occasional film music. Straus deliberately changed his surname (from "Strauss") to avoid association with the famous musical dynasty of that name. He was not related (IMDB).
 However, he did follow the advice of Johann Strauss II in 1898 about abandoning the prospective lure of writing waltzes for the more lucrative business of writing for the theatre (Wikipedia).

Abstract

The present paper will focus on three, specific musical examples, in order to show:

How the relationship between identity and otherness can be actually observed in a piece of music. Example

1) Stravinsky, Tango.How music can give voice to emotions that are others but not alien. Example

2) Debussy, Serenade for the Doll.How humour and playfulness in music can play down any rhetorical approach to the origin as “the true identity”. Example

3) Johann Strauss, Czardas from The Bat.
