Martin Scharnagl completed his studies in music education and wind orchestra conducting at the Innsbruck Conservatory (Mozarteum). In addition to his activities as a percussion teacher and head of the internationally known formation "Viera Blech", he is also a very successful composer and arranger. In 2013 he had a huge success with the polka "Von Freund zu Freund" (From friend to friend). After this, Martin Scharnagl composed a second very successful polka with the title "Augenblicke" (Moments). The piece captivates with rhythmically interesting passages and unmistakably bears the composer's signature style.
