Yesterday my teacher spoke of a polka called the "Bayrische Polka". He said that is was a very challenging solo to play for trombone and that it still will take a while for me to get to a level high enough to play such music. Indeed I must say that he is very right, the bayrische polka is a nice song but difficult for a (beginning) student like me.
The Bayrische polka is an Austrian-German folk dance that is related to the Schottisch and the Rheinländer. Its related to the area of Bavaria. The polka my teacher was talking about is the one written by Georg Lohmann. My first search for information regarding this composer was without result.

Bayrische Polka on Youtube:
