Relation to Chopsticks
editThe Flea Waltz is not to be confused with another simple piano piece, "Chopsticks".
I rephrased this to:
The Flea Waltz is sometimes confused with another simple piano piece, "Chopsticks".
just because "not to be confused with" is inappropriate phrasing for an encyclopedia. It assumes that the reader is likely to confuse the pieces, and then tries to give the reader advice. It was reverted because it makes an unsourced claim, so I changed it to:
The Flea Waltz is similar to another simple piano piece, "Chopsticks".
However I don't think they're similar pieces at all. Do we even need to mention Chopsticks at all? --mjb 01:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
What the original author might mean is that the Flea Waltz is sometimes mis-named "Chopsticks" - a quick internet search for scores of Chopsticks, or people playing Chopsticks on a well-known video sharing site, reveals several results that are actually of The Flea Waltz.
- Quite true! That misnomer is almost universal, but the name 'Flea Waltz' isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdgard (talk • contribs) 05:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps the easiest way of including a reference to Chopsticks is to do a "See Also", in the same way that Chopsticks has a "See Also" pointing here... (Edit: Note to self: log in before adding/signing comments...) Mittfh (talk) 07:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Sheet music + MP3 file of my light version for beginners and something about the designation "waltz"
editIf you like feel free to check out these links
http://pianostarter.buschhausen.eu/first-pieces/pdf/Flohwalzer-Flea-Waltz-sheet-music.pdf
http://first-pieces.buschhausen.eu/mp3/flohwalzer.mp3
You can use my sheet music and my MP3 file of course.
The whole composition is more than 10 pages long and changes between 4/4 time and 3/4 time. Thus the designation "waltz" is not really correct but also not really false.

ps: sorry, I didn't see the line concerning stub last night. I just removed the line concerning my blog and hope the links to my MP3- and PDF-files are o.k. for Wikipedia.
Article name
editThe article name should omit the German definitive article and simply be named Flohwalzer. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:01, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
