John Hartmann began arranging music for the village band at the age of ten. He played the violin, but his real love was the cornet. He was asked, by the Crystal Palace Company, to form a band in 1854. Hartmann performed and led several other English regimental bands. This polka is a showy piece with extensive use of triple tonguing.
