This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features Hungarian music and Hungarian composers. Born in Hungary and famous for his operettas, Franz Lehar has a strong wind-band heritage. Truth be told, he's actually Franz Lehar, Jr., the son of Franz Lehar, Sr., the bandmaster of Regiment 50 of the Austro-Hungarian Army. After attending the Prague Conservatory, Franz Lehar, Jr., became an assistant bandmaster in his father's band at age 18. But 2 years later, he became the youngest bandmaster in the Autro-Hungarian Army. Then he became a bandmaster in the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Yes, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a Navy because it was not land locked. It accessed the Mediterranean Sea mostly through the port of Trieste, now part of Italy. The Austro-Hungarian Empire controlled most of what is now the northeastern corner of Italy and much of the Croation Coast.
