Chopsticks (waltz)

Musical composition by Euphemia Allan

For a different piece of piano music often called "Chopsticks" in the UK, see Flohwalzer.

"Chopsticks" (original name "The Celebrated Chop Waltz") is a simple, widely known waltz for the piano.

Written in 1877, it is the only published piece by the British composer Euphemia Allan (under the pen name Arthur de Lulli). Allan—whose brother, Mozart Allan, was a music publisher—was sixteen when she composed the piece, with arrangements for solo and duet.^[2] The title "Chop Waltz" comes from Allan's specification that the melody be played in two-part harmony with both hands held in a vertical orientation, little fingers down and palms facing each other, striking the keys with a chopping motion.^[2] The similar "The Coteletten Polka" also was first heard in 1877, with the piano collection Paraphrases elaborating on the theme by 1879.^[2]
