Story Behind The Song
Being of Viennese extraction, Richard has a soft spot for the elegant beauty of the waltz. But this is not that! Rather than a reverential bow to Johann Strauss, The Jester's Waltz owes more to the influence of Erik Satie, Cirque du Soleil, and the court jester from Edgar Allan Poe's story, HopFrog. His farcical parody of the once-venerable dance form has been called "playful, hilarious, manic, fiendishly fast".
