Dauerwellen Walzer (F. Pfister) [Sheet music]

‘Dauerwellen Walzer’ is an instrumental waltz (dauerwellen literally means hair perms!) written by Freddy Pfister from Austria, released in 1987 by the hugely successful Austrian folk music group ‘Zillertaler Schürzenjäger‘ (Skirt chasers from Ziller Valley). It appeared on the same album which featured the Zillertaler Hochzeitsmarsch, an old folk melody which the group modernised into a hit and has become a staple in most Alpine folk music repertoires across German speaking countries.

Freddy Pfister was the piano accordion player and vocalist for ‘Zillertaler Schürzenjäger’ from 1986 to 1998 and wrote many other hits for them including ‘Tiroler Buam Polka’. Today he continues his Alpine folk music work in the ‘Freddy Pfister Band‘.
