Alfred Paul Margis was a French composer and pianist, famous for his waltzes, songs, and dances. He composed numerous songs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the words by Eugene Hero, Georges Nanteuil, Paul Briollet, Leo Lelièvre, and Maurice de Marsan; along with waltzes and marches, sometimes under the pseudonyms of Versanne and Almar. Some of Margis’s works for orchestra include "Home Sweet Home: Au Revoir" Waltz Op. 207, "Paris – Washington" March Op. 53, "Espiritus Del Vino" Mexican Waltz, "Paris-Vienne" March; "Pathetic Andante", "Valse Royale – Roses de France" Op. 23. Margis died in Paris, France when he was only 38 years old. His waltz "One day you deceive me" was used in the 1930 film Two Hearts as a song of Geza von Bolváry, interpreted by the tenor Robert Marino. The Blue Waltz (Valse Bleue) is indeed his most famous work and was included in many compilations such as Valses Old (Krier, 1945) and 13 Waltzes of the Belle Epoque (DL, 1955).
