No really, I was investigating Richard, because he wrote the most famous piece of movie music ever made, and you absolutely must read the whack comments under the video. I thought he would be a good opposite to Herr Schönberg whose music is most certainly not schön, who I will subject myself to listening to soon. If I come back down of the big mountain. Alas, Richard was German, but he doth have a few Austrian name sakes. Which are described as follows by Wikipedia:
The origin of the name Strauß lies possibly in the Middle High German word strûz, meaning "fight". Alternatively, it may have been adopted for individuals with a long neck, in allusion to "straussenvogel", i.e. an "ostrich". Commonly misinterpreted as Straße or Strasse, the German word for street, many emigrants to America or England were renamed Street.
Seriously...
