Le Juif Errant,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or The Wandering Jew, is a captivating piano cover from the 1850s, arranged by the renowned composer Frederic Burgmüller. The hauntingly beautiful melody, originally composed in 1834 as a symphonic poem, was later transformed into a grand waltz for the piano. This particular print showcases the cover art from the sheet music edition published in 1852. The image on the cover is a striking depiction of the legendary figure of The Wandering Jew, a biblical character believed to have been cursed by Jesus to wander the earth until the Second Coming. In this rendition, the figure is shown as a melancholic, bearded man in traditional Jewish attire, wearing a tallit and holding a staff, as he wanders through a desolate landscape. The image is further brought to life by the elegant and graceful figure of Mademoiselle Louise Taglioni, a renowned ballerina of the time, who is depicted in the act of dancing the Grande Valse, or grand waltz, to the music of Le Juif Errant. The image captures the essence of the Victorian era, with its ornate border design and intricate detailing. The piano cover serves as a testament to the enduring power of music to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place. The haunting melody of Le Juif Errant continues to captivate audiences to this day, and the image of Mademoiselle Taglioni dancing the Grande Valse remains an iconic representation of the grace and beauty of the ballet world in the 19th century. This print is a must-have for any collector of historical sheet music or those with an interest in the history of music and dance.
