===================
Franz Lehár

Franz Lehár (1870 1948), was born in Hungary and known in Hungarian as Lehár Ferenc.
He studied violin and composition at the Prague Conservatory and was advised by Antonín Dvořák to focus on composing music. His first opera, Wiener Frauen was performed in Vienna in 1902.

He is most famous for his operettas the most successful of which is The Merry Widow (Die lustige Witwe) but he also wrote sonatas, symphonic poems, marches, and a number of waltzes (the most popular being Gold and Silver Waltz, composed for Princess Pauline von Metternich's, January 1902.

Franz Lehár spent most of his adult life outside of Hungary but, nevertheless, Hungarian remained his first language until his death. He continued to sign his name in Hungarian fashion, family name first, with a diacritic over the "a".

He died in 1948 in Bad Ischl, near Salzburg where he was also buried. His younger brother Anton became the administrator of his estate, promoting the popularity of Franz Lehár's music.
