Gruss in die Ferne (F. Arh) [Sheet music] [Tutorial]

‘Gruss in die Ferne’ (Greetings to afar) is a polka by Franz Arh, accordion player from Austrian Oberkrainer ensemble Lechtaler Buam. Franz Arh also wrote other great songs for Lechtaler Buam including ‘In deinen augen‘. Although this song is always performed by a quintett, my arrangement hopefully makes it enjoyable to play solo on accordion or in a trio.

Danes pri vas – Die Oberkrainer Kommen (V. Štrucl) [Sheet music] [Tutorial video]

‘Danes pri vas’ (Ger: ‘Die Oberkrainer Kommen’) is a polka by Vinko Štrucl, a Slovenian composer, conductor, trombone and baritone player. He wrote many songs for Slovenski instrumentalni kvintet (Oberkrainer Sextett Janez Kalšek), hundreds of compositions for brass and wind orchestras, and also stepped in for Mik Soss on baritone for the Avsenik ensemble. This song is from the 1960s and appears on many albums by Oberkrainer Sextett. Its title can easily be mistaken by an Avsenik polka with the same German name.

Pretuler Polka – Stoariegler Polka (Traditional) [Sheet music] [Tutorial video]

This is a traditional Austrian polka which goes by at least 3 different names: Pretuler Polka, Stoarigler Polka and Radltruchn Polka. It is often played fast but doesn’t have to be. If someone knows what the names mean, let me know so that I can it add to this description. I assume they are names of Austrian towns (?). Edit: It turns out that ‘Pretuler’ means ‘ditch’ in Styria, and Radltruchnpolka means ‘Wheelbarrow polka’ 😅 (thanks Sigi R).
