Feb 3, 1877: 'The Celebrated Chop Waltz' - better known as 'Chopsticks' -
was registered at the British Museum. Arranged as a duet and solo for
pianoforte by Arthur de Lull (a pseudonym for Euphemia Alten, the music
publisher's sister who wrote it when she was 16), it has since been played
on millions of pianos throughout the world.
