[Top of page]

'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^[1] by the British composer Euphemia Allen (under the pseudonym Arthur de Lulli). Allen—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 Allen'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] 'Chopsticks' continues to be popular in various forms of media.

Paraphrases[edit]

In 1877, Alexander Borodin's daughter Gania played 'The Coteletten Polka', with four bars of music similar to the beginning of de Lulli's work, though there is no hard evidence of a common source between the two pieces.^[2] In 1878–1879, with the collaboration of César Cui and Anatoly Lyadov, Borodin and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov each wrote variations on the theme, published together under the title Paraphrases. A supplementary paraphrase by Franz Liszt was later appended to the collection. In Borodin's version, the first four bars begin in a similar way to de Lulli's, but are nevertheless distinct. According to James Fuld's book on 'World-Famous Music', no common origins for the Chop Waltz and the Coteletten Polka have yet been discovered.^[2]

In cinema, music and television[edit]

Mr. Russell's hooks that served as hands seemingly did not deter him from delivering a rendering of the tune, complete with a final glissando up the keyboard.

'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^[1] by the British composer Euphemia Allen (under the pseudonym Arthur de Lulli). Allen—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 Allen'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] 'Chopsticks' continues to be popular in various forms of media.

Paraphrases[edit]

In 1877, Alexander Borodin's daughter Gania played 'The Coteletten Polka', with four bars of music similar to the beginning of de Lulli's work, though there is no hard evidence of a common source between the two pieces.^[2] In 1878–1879, with the collaboration of César Cui and Anatoly Lyadov, Borodin and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov each wrote variations on the theme, published together under the title Paraphrases. A supplementary paraphrase by Franz Liszt was later appended to the collection. In Borodin's version, the first four bars begin in a similar way to de Lulli's, but are nevertheless distinct. According to James Fuld's book on 'World-Famous Music', no common origins for the Chop Waltz and the Coteletten Polka have yet been discovered.^[2]
