Description
5 pieces by Charlie Chaplin for cello and piano, intermediate level of difficulty.
Contents: The Spring Song; Falling Star; Limelight; Park Avenue Waltz; Napoli March.
In 1916, Charles Chaplin set up his own music publishing company in association with Bert Clark, an English vaudeville comedian:
“We had rented a room three storeys up in a down town office building and printed two thousand copies of two very bad songs and musical compositions of mine – then we waited for customers. The enterprise was collegiate and quite mad. I think we sold three copies, one to Charles Cadman, the American composer, and two to pedestrians who happened to pass our office on their way downstairs.”
The Charles Chaplin Music Company closed shop after publishing his first three compositions: “Oh! That Cello”, “There’s Always One you Can’t Forget”, and “The Peace Patrol”.
