    "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 Lull" (alternatively, 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. This name suggests the piece should be played in 3/4 (waltz) metre, although it is also commonly heard with the stresses as in 6/8 time." - wikipedia
