The flea waltz

The flea waltz (Der Flohwalzer in German) is a simple piano piece, often one of the first learned.

It is known all over the world. According to an article by Hiromi Oketani in the Osaka Shoin Women's College Annual for 1994, it is known in Japan as Neko Funjatta (I stepped on the cat), in Spain as La Chocolatera, in the Netherlands as Vlooienmars (Flea March), in Belgium as Valse des Puces (Flea Waltz), in Russia as Sobachiy Val's (Dog Waltz), in Bulgaria as Koteshki Marsh (Cat March), in Hungary as Szamárinduló (Donkey March), in Majorca as Polca de los Tontos (Fools' Polka), and in Denmark as Prinsesse Toben (Princess Two-Legs). In Mexico it is called Los Changuitos (The Little Monkeys) and in Finland Kissanpolkka (Cat Polka). In China it is called 小偷进行曲 (Thief March).

The piece is in the key of F-sharp or G-flat. Most of it's notes are played on black keys.

The composer is unknown. A book by Eric Baumann attributes the piece to Ferdinand Loh, but this is obviously a joke (F. Loh = Floh - flea in German).

An elaborate variation on this piece, Lesson One, was a hit in 1962 for Russ Conway.

Let me know which one is the correct one. One of my friends play it differently than mine, and you play it differently than my and my friend. I've checked some other VIDEOs, but they are not equal. None of the videos I've seen - yet. Is the way I play it, or she plays it.

It really annoys me not to know.

So if you got any answers please let me know.
