I have just bought an old edition of Estudiantina Waltz by\u00a0<\/strong>P. Lacome<\/strong> – Jean Pietrapertosa has published this version for mandolin and piano. I have also made a scan of this edition which is available now as free download on my website.<\/p>\n

I have tried to find some information about this compositiona and recordings of this waltz and here is what I have found.<\/p>\n

The Estudiantina Waltz<\/strong> was composed by P. Lacome<\/strong>. Emil Waldteufel<\/strong> has used the melody and some other Spanish melodies in his composition Estudiantina Op. 191.<\/p>\n

Jean Pietrapertosa<\/strong> has published the waltz as his Op. 8 for mandolin and piano around 1889. Obviously this waltz was quite popular during the late 19th and early 20th century.<\/p>\n

On the website http:\/\/www.planet-vienna.com\/musik\/komponisten\/Waldteufel\/werke.htm<\/a> I have found some information about the composition by Emil Waldteufel:<\/p>\n

Anmerkung<\/span>: Wie auch bei \u201aEspa\u00f1a\u2018 handelt es sich bei \u201aEstudiantina\u2018 um ein Arrangement, welches aus bereits bestehenden Themen anderer Komponisten besteht. Der Verleger Enoch beauftrage Waldteufel, einen Walzer zusammenzustellen, der auf dem ber\u00fchmten Duett \u201aEstudiantina\u2018 (Bezeichnung f\u00fcr eine Gruppe von Studenten) von Paul Lacome (1838-1920) basiert. Dieses Thema jedoch reichte nur f\u00fcr die ersten eineinhalb Sequenzen von \u201aEstudiantina\u2018. Daher suchte Waldteufel weiter in der Vielfalt der franz\u00f6sischen Adaptionen original spanischer Lieder. Die vier Walzerthemen von \u201aEstudiantina\u2018 beinhalten folgende Lieder: 1. Estudiantina (Refrain), 2. Estudiantina (Strophe) und \u201aChanson d\u2019automne\u2018 (ebenfalls von Lacome), 3. \u201aJota de la Estudiantina\u2018 und \u201aTirana\u2018, 4. \u201aDe Cadiz al Puerto\u2018 und \u201aEl Tripili\u2018. Lacomes \u201aEstudiantina\u2018 wurde im Dezember 1881 ver\u00f6ffentlicht, Waldteufels Walzer im April 1883. Wie auch \u201aEspa\u00f1a\u2018 ist dieser Walzer ein Muster an Lebhaftigkeit. Die wunderbaren, z\u00fcgig dahinfliessenden Melodien bef\u00f6rdern den Zuh\u00f6rer geradewegs auf einen wogenden Wellenteppich, welcher ihn f\u00fcr einen Moment in den sonnigen S\u00fcden bringt…<\/p>\n

Translation: As in “Espana” “Estudantina” is an arrangement which is composed of themes composed by other composers. The publisher Enoch ordered a waltz based on the famous duet “Estudiantina”\u00a0 (i.e. a group of students playing music together) composed by P. Lacome (1838 – 1920). However this theme was not sufficient for the complete composition, so Waldteufel looked for other themes in the large amount of French versions of Spanish songs. The 4 themes of the Estudiantina Waltz contain the following songs: 1. Estudiantina (Refrain), 2. Estudiantina (Strophe) and \u201aChanson d\u2019automne\u2018 (also composed by Lacome), 3. \u201aJota de la Estudiantina\u2018 and \u201aTirana\u2018, 4. \u201aDe Cadiz al Puerto\u2018 and \u201aEl Tripili\u2018. Lacomes \u201aEstudiantina\u2018 was published in Dec. 1881, Waldteufel composition was published in April 1883.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are several historical recodings of Estudiantina, mostly short versions that are probably based on the song by Lacome (ca. 3 minutes). There are many versions at youtube, mostly based on the version by Emil Waldteufel (ca. 7 minutes).<\/p>\n
