Скачать или смотреть My Choice 276 - Émile Waldteufel: Estudiantina

CORRECTION: On opening screen it says that Waldteufel was German - in fact he was French. Error regretted.

We're showing pictures of beautiful cacti and flowers since the music is quite "flowery".

The Estudiantina waltz, or Band of Students Waltz is a musical arrangement, made in 1883, by Émile Waldteufel, which would be his Opus 191, No. 4. Its melody was composed earlier in 1881 by Paul Lacome, with lyrics by J. de Lau Lusignan.

Waldteufel first adapted it to a two-piano version, and later to an orchestral version with which classical music audiences are familiar today. The main melody is universally recognized by Americans of a certain age as the Rheingold Beer jingle, with the words "My beer is Rheingold the dry beer".

Émile Waldteufel (German for forest devil) was born in Strasbourg to a Jewish Alsatian family of musicians. His father Louis had a respected orchestra, and his brother Léon was a successful musician. When Léon won a place to study violin performance at the Conservatoire de Paris, the entire family followed him there. It was in Paris that Waldteufel would spend the rest of his life.

We've used this Waltz in our Malta: Panorama 3 video on our jasalf5959 channel but thought it would be best to also have it with this music channel.
