One of the most famous wintery pieces in classical music, The Skaters’ Waltz was written in 1882 and inspired by the sight of Parisians skating on the frozen Seine river. Émile Waldteufel wrote over 200 works, but this is the piece he is best remembered for.

Skater's Boogie is arranged as performed by famous t.v. pianist Jo Ann Castle.  This piano solo arrangement features all of the excitement and energy of Jo Ann's television performance on the Lawrence Welk Show.
