General Information

Wikipedia has this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopsticks_(waltz)): "Chopsticks" (original name "The Celebrated Chop Waltz") is a simple, extremely well known waltz for the piano. It was written in 1877 by the British composer Euphemia Allen under the pseudonym Arthur de Lulli. Allen, who was the sister of a music publisher, was supposedly only sixteen when she composed the piece, with arrangements for solo and duet. The title Chop Waltz comes from Allen's specification that the melody be played in two-part harmony with both hands held sideways, little fingers down, striking the keys with a chopping motion.

I wrote a Round to harmonize with Chopsticks and this arrangement starts with that. The Round eventually is in 6 voices, entering every 4 measures for the full 24 of the Round melody. The piano part features the Chopsticks tune. It gradually goes crazy, introducing dissonances and confusion and finally disintegrates.
