The arrangement is also available a whole tone lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of his songs, like this one here and ”Brenna tuas guat”<\/em> and ”Weit, weit weg”<\/em> have all become Austrian classics by now.
Also, I can highly recommend the piece even for Non-Austrian speaking singers, because it has very little text. It does contain some ”Yodeling”, but it’s more ”singing on yodel-syllables” than the more virtuosic style with the cracking. \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
