Schrammel-Quartett#

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. Daenzer (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 Daenzer 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.
