The Waltz of the Big Dog (Valse du Grande Chien) was a waltz composed for a solo pianist by Virkato Wakhmaninov (1873-1974). <br> | |||
Virkato had a large dog, and from time to time would chase his own tail. <br> | |||
The spinning of the dog, going round and round and round at such a high speed, is said to have inspired him to make this song.<br> | |||
Of the 17 waltzes that had supposedly been written by Virkato, this is the only known one that he had released.<br> | |||
The other 16 waltzes that he made were never released, and in his will, he stipulated that they should not be released. <br> | |||
There are several theories of why he never released the music. The most prominent theory states that he was bitter about the criticism and taunts about his music and as a way of revenge, he would never release his other waltzes. <br> | |||
This theory has been heavily criticized, however. <br> | |||

This waltz sounded to me like a violent tantrum.<br> | |||
It gave me an image of my older sister! The thing is, my sister loves big dogs.<br> | |||
Is it weird that I would notice this? | |||
