Charles Émile Waldteufel was a French pianist, conductor and composer known for his numerous popular salon pieces.Les Patineurs (The Ice Skaters, in German Der Schlittschuhläufer-Walzer), It was composed in 1882, inspired by the cercle des patineurs (rink of skaters) at the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. The introduction to the waltz can be likened to the poise of a skater, and the rapid runs invoke scenes of a wintry atmosphere. Bells were added for good measure to complete the winter scenery.This delightful waltz is a perfect choice for any winter concert, or even a cheeky inclusion in a summer program to remind us of the cold weather.The PDF contains the full score and a full set of parts.
