Franz Amon

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Franz Amon was the lead violinist and concertmaster of the dance orchestra of Johann Strauss I.[1]

As the elder Strauss was against a musical career for his sons, Amon was contracted secretly by Anna Strauss to teach her son Johann Strauss II, to play the violin.[1][2] Johann paid for the lessons by giving piano lessons to other students.[2][3]
