Dein ist mein ganzes Herz: Ein Franz-Lehar-Lesebuch

With the death of Johann Strauss in 1899, the golden operetta era came to an end. A military band leader from Transdanubia was then left to renew the genre. Franz Lehar actually wanted to be an opera composer - and achieved world fame with his operettas. For his 150th birthday in 2020, the editors Heide Stockinger and Kai-Uwe Garrels, as well as other authors closely familiar with Franz Lehar, and one author cover a wide range in their contributions: From Lehar’s work as an initially unknown composer in the Empire about his heyday in the Silver operetta era from the interwar period to its age role in the Third Reich. This reading book illuminates Meister Lehar from different thematic perspectives, but above all - his music!
