[edit] Relation to Chopsticks

The Flea Waltz is not to be confused with another simple piano piece, "Chopsticks".

I rephrased this to:

The Flea Waltz is sometimes confused with another simple piano piece, "Chopsticks".

just because "not to be confused with" is inappropriate phrasing for an encyclopedia. It assumes that the reader is likely to confuse the pieces, and then tries to give the reader advice. It was reverted because it makes an unsourced claim, so I changed it to:

The Flea Waltz is similar to another simple piano piece, "Chopsticks".

However I don't think they're similar pieces at all. Do we even need to mention Chopsticks at all? --mjb 01:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

What the original author might mean is that the Flea Waltz is sometimes mis-named "Chopsticks" - a quick internet search for scores of Chopsticks, or people playing Chopsticks on a well-known video sharing site, reveals several results that are actually of The Flea Waltz.

Perhaps the easiest way of including a reference to Chopsticks is to do a "See Also", in the same way that Chopsticks has a "See Also" pointing here... (Edit: Note to self: log in before adding/signing comments...) Mittfh (talk) 07:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
