Extra Information Many sources attribute this operette to J.F. Wagner (1856-1908), but period sources make a clear distinction between the two composers: e.g. Neuer Theater-Almanach für das Jahr 1896 (p.97) lists Franz Wagner (including birth data: Wien, 23. Aug. 53 !) as composer of Herzbub, and J.F. Wagner as composer of other work.
