Music cover for La Fille de Madame Angot Valse

Music cover for La Fille de Madame Angot Valse, a waltz made popular by the comic opera by Charles Lecocq (1832-1918), La Fille de Madame Angot, first performed in 1872. The waltz from the opera has been arranged here by Charles Coote, probably for piano (solo and duet). A colourfully dressed crowd of people are depicted, waltzing around the stage -- some of them are Hussars in uniform. The opera was set in the late 1790s period, just after the French Revolution
