"The Merry Widow" composer (5)

I believe the answer is:

lehar

'the merry widow composer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lehar that I've seen before include "Austrian of note" , "Hungarian who composed" , "Operettist" , "He scored" , "Viennese composer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
