Rezső Seress [rɛʒøː ˈʃɛrɛʃ] (* 3 November 1899 - 11 January 1968) was a Hungarian pianist and composer. Originally a trapeze artist, an injury left Rezső with the use of only his right hand. Despite his disability, he taught himself to play the piano, and in 1932 he composed what would be his most famous (and infamous) melody, that in English was called "The World Has Ended". In 1935, it was paired with lyrics about a man who was lamenting over a lost love and driven to suicide. <a href="http
