Franz Lehár
One of the most significant composers. He was born in 1870 in Komárno. His father played in the military band and thus the Lehár family ( because of his father’s job) visited places all over the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The young Lehár after finishing the Music School in Prague worked as a violin player and later as a conductor. After composing his work “the Merry Widow” he became the most important composer in Europe. He died in Austria, in Bad-Ishl which is famous for its baths.
