Émile Waldteufel (9 December 1837 – 12 February 1915) was a composer now remembered for his light dance music, especially the "Skaters' Waltz". 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holiday Hints

Among his best known works is "Les Patineurs", known as "The Skaters' Waltz". -- Wikipedia

For the holidays, here's my advice:

Stay away from ballet dancing mice,

And also from elves

Who incarnate on shelves,

But especially waltzing on ice.
