Pride Goeth Before the…
While less successful than his contemporary Franz Lehár, Fall was nevertheless capable of producing melodious and well-orchestrated work. – Wikipedia
Though most of us do not recall

His tuneful shows adorned the stage
In operetta's Silver Age.
Though Lehár's works, of course, survived
And Kálmán's, now and then, revived,
Of Leo Fall's it's said that they are
B-side Kalman or Franz Lehár.
