Schrammel-Quartett
© Copyright The Original Schrammeln. Silhouette by H. Schließmann. Schrammel-Quartett, originally founded as a trio by Johann Schrammel, Josef Schrammel (violin) and their friend A. Strohmayer (double guitar) in 1878; in 1879 G. Dänzer (clarinet) joined them to form the famous Schrammel-Quartett; played popular Viennese music; its fame spread beyond the Austrian borders (concert tours abroad). After the death of Dänzer in 1893 the clarinet was replaced with an accordion. The (original) Schrammel-Quartett was imitated by numerous other musicians and still holds an important place among the typical representatives of Viennese popular music. Literature: H. Mailler, Schrammel-Quartett, 1943; R. A. Moissi, Die Schrammel-Dynastie, 1943.
