He was jewish with a German name, although he was born in Strasbourg, which made him French. He was known as the French Waltz King. As he was a pianist, he first wrote his waltzes for the piano before orchestrating them.The style of his waltzes differs from his contemporary Johann Strauss Jr, in being more subtle, less exuberant and more romantic. Madeleine was an earlier Waldteufel work, before he became really popular with his "Skater's Waltz". Nevertheless, it is a charming suite of a slow, rocking introduction, 4 waltzes with engaging melodies and a Coda.
