Party Polka (H. Färber) [Sheet music]

This is an instrumental polka composed by Helmut Färber, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist from the Austrian Oberkrainer band Die Mooskirchner. The original recording featured the ensemble’s co-founder Helmut Freydl on the chromatic button accordion. It’s a technically demanding song to play on the accordion which can be challenging to find appropriate fingering and right hand chords, so I hope my arrangement helps you learn it to your best ability.

This waltz (which translates to “A waltz for the accordion”) was written by Erich Moser from Austria and recorded in the 1980s with his trio. Erich Moser was a brilliant Steirische Harmonika (diatonic button accordion) player who passed away in 1992 at the age of 37, and left behind a legacy of several albums, many compositions, and a unique style of playing that has inspired many. He was both technically and dynamically brilliant, as demonstrated in the video below. This particular song is one of my favourite waltzes by Moser, which I first heard on a videotape of a 1987 Musikantenstadl (that I shared to YouTube a long time ago).

This is Erich Moser’s most popular polka, Flott aufg’spielt, which roughly translates to ‘Playing quickly’. Erich Moser was an amazing steirische harmonika (diatonic button accordion) player from Austria, who was well known for his great technical skills and many unique, beautiful melodies like Kleiner Spatz am Dach, Walzer fur harmonika, and so on. Unfortunately Erich passed away at the age of 37 in 1992, but left us with his legacy of amazing recordings and compositions. This song is the first polka I had ever heard by Moser, which he himself would play with seemingly great ease, despite the complexity of this song. I’ve arranged this song with finger positioning ideal

This is an instrumental by Manfred Wiener, baritone and bass player for the former Kathreiner Musikanten from Austria. The Kathreiner Musikanten recorded many interesting and beautiful songs, particularly their instrumentals, many of which were composed by Manfred Wiener, including ‘Ferientage’. In recent years some of their songs have seen a resurgence in the Alpine/Oberkrainer music communities, and polkas like ‘Sommerfest Polka’ and ‘Ferientage‘ have become a staple in many quintett’s and trio’s repertoires.

Christl Boarischer (L. Plattner) [Sheet music]

This is an instrumental by Luis Plattner from the Austrian Volksmusik group Original Tiroler Echo. They are known for several hits (Die Sterne am Himmel, among others), and their quality sound utilises Oberkrainer rhythm and 2 accordions; diatonic button accordion (steirische harmonika) and piano accordion. The first time I heard them was on an old Musikantenstadl video tape as a kid, where they were playing Christlboarischer. Although the song’s main melody was originally played on steirische harmonika, my arrangement makes it a little easier to play some sections on piano accordion.
