Everybody knows it, and for many a player it was perhaps the first tentative attempt to coax sounds out of the piano: Chopsticks. The origin of this popular piano piece, like that of most folksongs, cannot be ultimately settled today. Legend has it that it was written by Ferdinand Loh and that the designation of the work 'F. Loh: Walzer' eventually turned into 'Flohwalzer'. But no matter who actually wrote the waltz: It is, without doubt, one of the most famous piano pieces and known all over the world. In France, it is called 'Cotelettes' [Chops], in Great Britain 'Chopsticks', and in Mexico 'Los Changuitos' (Little Monkeys). Technically speaking, however, it is not even a waltz. It is composed in 2/4 time and, with regard to style, rather is a polka or a galop. Eric Mayr transcribed the 16-bar original into a concert version for piano duet.

Chopsticks in a slow rock style? Yes, it works! And you'll have trouble getting this one out of your head after you play it. The percussion parts are written to be played the way a set drummer would drive a rock band. A great groove! (1:30).

The solos in this book are all based on melodies composed by women. They are especially well suited to performance on the soprano recorder, and they provide excellent material for developing skills in rapid tonguing, extended breath-control, phrasing, and the playing of high notes. Although arranged primarily for soprano recorder, most of these solos can be played on tenor or alto recorder. On the alto, use C fingerings. Three of the worlds most famous melodies are here: Mildred Hills Happy Birthday originally Good Morning to You , Euphemia Allens- Chopsticks originally The Celebrated Chop Waltz , and Effie Corcketts Rock-a-Bye, Baby. Less well known delights include Faustina Hodges- Because Im Twenty-Five and Florence Percys Fly Away, as well as Amanda Aldridges Dance of the Warriors-and the list goes on and on. A separate flute edition is available.
