The radio show "Orpheus" featured a program by author Evgenia about ballet composers of the 19th century, specifically Ludwig Minkus. Minkus, like Adolphe Adam, was criticized for his music being lightweight or too frivolous, though some recognized the grace and appeal of his melodies. Minkus was born in Vienna in 1826 and grew up surrounded by music, as his father was a restaurateur with a small orchestra that played popular tunes. Minkus showed prodigious talent from an early age, playing the violin and composing music. At age 12, he performed for the Zephirine Society of Friends of Music, and by his teenage years, he was already creating music for ballets.
