    If Sir Hopkins hadn't done anything else in his entire life, this waltz would still be enough to remember him.

I had this scene in my head where a man sits alone in a ballroom at the beginning and then the spirit of his deceased wife comes to him to ask for a dance and they dance like they were never apart, but in the end he sits down again and the wife leaves. But for this moment, for this song, their soules were one and that‘s enough..

    Legendary Welsh actor Sir Anthony Hopkins is also a pianist and composer, with a deep love of music. And here’s a magical moment, where one of his first compositions is heard anew, thanks to ‘King of the Waltz’ André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra. The actor wrote this piece, "And the Waltz Goes On" in 1964 when he was in his 20s. Years later, Hopkins and his wife were watching one of André Rieu’s famous concerts. “I’d love to have that waltz played in Vienna,” the actor said to his wife, as a passing comment. Little known to Hopkins, his wife then contacted Rieu and shared the sheet music of the nearly 50-year-old composition. The Dutch violinist then surprised the Welsh actor with a phone call, saying his orchestra had just rehearsed his waltz and wanted to perform it live. A few months later, that Vienna premiere became a reality. The Dutch violinist recalled Hopkins coming to him afterwards, saying, “I love it, I love it, and I have tears in my eyes!” Rieu added: “Playing his waltz for the first time in one of the most beautiful halls in Vienna was like a dream for both of us.” Rieu and his orchestra continued to tour with the piece. The above performance took place in 2012, during the Dutch violinist’s famous Maastricht concerts. Watch as a visibly moved Hopkins watches the performance from the audience. Afterwards the actor stands and removes his hat, thanking the orchestra and waving to the Maastricht crowd. He may be best known as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs or Odin in Marvel’s Thor, but Sir Anthony Hopkins’ piano and compositional talents have taken the Internet by storm in recent years. During the Covid pandemic, the movie legend went viral on social media, playing his piano music with his pet cat Niblo perched on his lap. Earlier this year, he stunned hotel staff with spontaneous piano playing in an empty lobby. Though he has enjoyed a glittering career as an actor, he often speaks of music and composition as a first love. “Music was my first desire, my first wish,” Hopkins told Gramophone magazine in 2009. “I soon realised that I wanted to be involved and started composing at an early age, writing for the piano.” From that first wish, to a Vienna premiere almost 50 years later. Musical dreams can really come true...

      For most of us, it just starts with chords and a melody, and there are "standard" techniques you can use to add parts for all the different instruments. A very experienced or gifted composer may hear some of the full orchestration in their mind, but it's normally something you build up over time with pen and paper.

    Sir Anthony Hopkins actually composed this around 1964, when he was roughly 26 years old. It took his wife in 2011 to quietly contact Andre Rieu and send him a copy of it for the waltz to be actually played; Hopkins never pushed for it to be produced, oddly enough; maybe out of shyness, or maybe simply out of humility. Gorgeous.

    There are no words to what a talented man Anthony Hopkins is. He Acts, directs, plays the piano, composes music and paints. Performed beautifully by that orchestra. Bravo!
    If only Education could nurture people like Anthony who is a Creative Mind, instead of trying to destroy and break our Artistic children with the Academic school system.
    Long live the Arts. And thank you Anthony Hopkins for allowing us to dream. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

    The beauty of compositions like these is you are essentially looking into the mind of the composer... in this case, the brilliant mind of Sir Anthony Hopkins and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Such a privilege to hear music during the time of its composer.
