Les Patineurs Valse or The Skaters’ Waltz or Die Schlittschuhläufer-Walzer (German) Op. 183 is a waltz by Émile Waldteufel. Known in English as The Skaters’ Waltz it was composed in 1882 and was inspired by the Cercle des Patineurs or ‘Rink of Skaters’ at the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. His introduction to the waltz can be likened to the poise of a skater and the glissando notes invoke scenes of a wintry atmosphere.
