Euphemia Allen / Arr. Ben Clinesmith
Konzertante Bearbeitungen
Euphemia Allen composer
Euphemia Amelia Nightingale Allen was born in 1861 in Glasgow to a musical family. Her father was a highly regarded dance instructor, and her brother, Mozart Allen, went on to become a music publisher.
In 1877, Euphemia composed The Chop Waltz at the tender age of 16. She published two versions to allow for solo playing or a duet. It earned the title chopsticks because she instructed players to hit the keys with a chopping motion.
Euphemia went on to become a piano teacher and a music publisher but never published another piece of her own.
