Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STRAUS, LUDWIG (1835-1899) , Austrian violinist, was born at Pressburg on the 28th of
March
  1835. He studied at the Vienna Conservatorium from 1843 to 1848, as a pupil of Bohm; made his first
appearance
  in 1850, and five years afterwards made a tour in Italy; in 1857 he became acquainted with his lifelong friend, the 'cellist Piatti, and toured with him in Germany and Sweden. From 186o to 1864 he was concert-meister at Frankfort, and during these years he visited England frequently, in the year 1864 taking up his residence there. He was for many years leader of
Halle
 's orchestra in Manchester, and a
familiar
  figure at the Popular Concerts in London. He was first
violin
  in the Queen's Band. He retired, owing to ill
health
 , in 1893, and from that time till his death, on the 23rd of October 1899, lived at
Cambridge
 . His playing, whether of
violin
  or
viola
 , had very
great
  qualities; he was perfect in ensemble, and his power of self-effacement was of a piece with his gentle disposition and with the pure love of art which distinguished him through life. A more lovable nature never existed, and his quiet influence on the art of his time was very
great
 .
