Reception and Edit MusicQtext

The Operetta Die blaue Mazur was composed by Franz Lehár using Polish elements. The title was derived from the dance Mazurka. Despite a successful mixture of musical styles, the work has not managed to keep itself permanently in the theater plans. Today the operetta is rarely performed as a whole. Individual pieces of music, however, have been preserved and are occasionally played at concerts. The best known song was the Mazur.
