How the flea waltz got its name
The flea waltz probably was composed by the East Frisian Ferdinand Alfred Gustav Loh in 1890.
He wrote in a letter to his cousin:
"Finished my "waltz" this morning. Outwardly it is small, but I have the feeling that I have put everything into it that I am only capable of. I've solemnly burned all my other compositions in the oven - the three symphonies, the opera and everything else."
Ferdinand Loh was sure that the big publishing houses will be fighting over this little work, because: "There has never been such a piece in the word."
