Musician Konstantin Wecker retires from the piano
In a recent announcement, German singer-songwriter Konstantin Wecker, now 78 years old, has expressed his belief that his piano-playing career has come to an end due to nerve damage in his hands. The breakdowns in his left hand have been a gradual process, making it impossible for him to play the complex melodies that characterise his music.
Wecker, renowned for his anti-Nazi song "Willy," states that he can no longer perform this iconic piece. He has also considered "Willy" to be history, as he can't let anyone else play the piano for the song. The emotional significance of the song and his inability to play it have left Wecker with a sense of loss.
The Austria Press Agency (APA), a national news agency based in Vienna, Austria, has been following this development closely. The APA is a cooperative owned by various Austrian media companies, including public and private broadcasters, newspapers, and magazines. The ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) is one of the owners of the APA, along with Austrian daily newspapers. As the largest news and press agency in Austria, the APA plays a crucial role in disseminating news across the country.
Wecker's retirement from piano-playing is a significant loss for the music industry, but his legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire musicians and fans alike. His anti-Nazi songs, such as "Willy," remain powerful reminders of the importance of standing against injustice and promoting peace. Despite his retirement, Wecker's music will continue to resonate with audiences for generations to come.
