Chopsticks poco sérieuses (Piano Duet) Euphemia Allen







This is my piano duet rendition of Euphemia Allen's (a.k.a. Arthur de Lulli) The Celebrated Chop Waltz for 1 piano, four hands re-titled Chopsticks poco sérieuses. She composed it at the age of 16 and it is the only composition she ever published. This quirky little tune has become a must-play tune for any piano players, young and old alike. There are arrangements out there using this theme that are humorous and light hearted, but nothing serious. I found that this simple tune could be turned into a legitimate serious (a little bit) waltz, hence the title "Chopsticks poco sérieuses", Little serious chopsticks. It isn't too difficult, but as with most of my compositions and arrangements, it isn't easy, either. But I think the players will get a kick out of this piece. I hope you all enjoy it.
