STRAUSS MELODIES
FORGOTTEN MANUSCRIPTS FOUND. VALUABLE DISCOVERY AT VIENNA By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7 p.m. , London, Oct. 16. Two hundred manuscripts of forgotten melodies of Johann Strauss were rescued from a dustheap at Vienna when Dr. Wilhelm Grosz, composer of a popular dance, “The Isle of Capri,” was passing a refuse-lorry clearing debris from an old house. He paid the equivalent of half a crown for a bundle of manuscripts, utterly unaware of their real value. On examining them at home he found many in the handwriting of Strauss. A selection was broadcast from London on October 1, the words being specially written by Captain Harry Graham.
