GRAND EXHIBITION WALTZ. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB'. "Grand Exhibition Waltz" was a piece composed by British songwriter and composer Ricardo Linter (1815-1886), who composed popular pieces for the parlor pianist. He produced a folio of tunes for Jenny Lind, "The Swedish Nightingale", including several polkas, although the famous "Jenny Lind (1)" polka was the work of Anton Wallerstein. Linter was the composer of a large number of polkas, quadrilles, variations on airs and other works for the piano, as well as songs and other vocal music. He was born in Devonshire around 1815, and moved to Cheltenham in 1862 where he became a successful teacher and pianist. He held the position of organist at St. James’ and St. Luke’s churches, Cheltenham.
"Grand Exhibition Waltz" was entered in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter[1], a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset.
