4. This is widely praised as Franz Leh\u00e1r’s best work<\/h3>\n

Famous for his operettas, Franz Leh\u00e1r has also written sonatas, poems and marches. In honour of his highly-regarded career, there is a street in Vienna in his name and several towns in the Netherlands also have streets named after him.<\/p>\n

3. Beautiful, beautiful music<\/h3>\n

Prepare to lose yourself in “Vilja Song\u201d, “Da geh’ ich zu Maxim,” (“You’ll Find Me at Maxim’s”) and the “Merry Widow Waltz”. You might recognise the rich melodic score of these songs already.<\/p>\n
