Karl Ganzer was a musical self-taught artist who had never received any musical training and never wrote musical notation until the end of his life. Music was in his blood. At a young age he joined musicians in restaurants with his Styrian harmonica and played with them. By listening and playing along, he acquired an extensive repertoire.

He put this skill to use in the difficult times after the war. He played, partly in a duo and partly in the group “Pendlstoana”, in restaurants, especially in the “Auracher Löchl”, a traditional Kufstein inn on Römerhofgasse. In 1946, the melody came into being when he was practicing on the new chromatic harmonica and couldn't get it out of his head - the now world-famous Kufstein song, first in 4/8 time, played publicly for the first time in the former Gasthof Waltl on the lower town square 1947. At the beginning of the 1950s, the song was also printed as sheet music in a recording by Franz Friedl and recorded on record by the Kufstein yodeling duo Gasser-Stadlmayr. However, the song only made its breakthrough at the beginning of the 1960s, now in ¾ (“Schunkel”) time through recordings by the “yodeling king” Franzl Lang and other well-known artists in the folk music scene, such as Maria and Margot Hellwig.
