Hans Christian Lumbye's 'Amorin Polka' is a delightful and lighthearted composition, embodying the characteristic charm and rhythmic vivacity of the polka. Its cheerful melodies and energetic pulse make it a pleasing miniature.
Requires nimble fingers for quick runs and a light, percussive touch to emphasize the polka rhythm.
Amorin Polka is rated Henle level 5 of 9 — late intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 6–7. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 7.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 5 — meaning you can already play level 4–5 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Amorin Polka lasts about 3 minutes.
