Sheet Music „Wunder gibt es immer wieder" – a vibrant Schlager classic for piano & voice

Katja Ebstein brought this song to prominence in 1970 – it represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in 3rd place, and became one of her signature pieces. Günter Loose and Christian Bruhn wrote the lyrics and music respectively. The song is about how happiness often appears when least expected – and that those who believe in it tend to find it. That message is carried directly in the melody: open, flowing, with a natural forward momentum.

E♭ major gives the piece its warm, bright character. The vocal line moves in the middle register – a span of 14 semitones (B♭3–C5) – and requires clean breath management so that the delicate phrasing, with its many short legato slurs, truly carries. The piano supports the voice with a full accompaniment: octave grips in both hands at a lively tempo make the intermediate-level classification immediately understandable. The harmony remains largely diatonic – the key holds the framework steady, even as brief excursions into A♭ major momentarily brighten the overall mood.

• Vocal range: B♭ to C'' (1 octave)
• Main challenge: strongly syncopated rhythm

Singers who first secure the vocal line without piano will quickly notice where the accents fall off the beat – and that is precisely what gives the song its characteristic drive. The syncopations lock in more reliably when you quietly tap the underlying pulse while your hands are playing. A particular challenge lies in the ensemble coordination: the syncopated melody and the piano accompaniment frequently work against each other rhythmically, which demands careful coordination whether playing with a partner or accompanying your own voice – it helps to internalize each part separately before bringing them together. With the octave grips, it is worth separating span and tempo as distinct goals: first secure the reach, then build the speed. The short legato slurs in the vocal part need air – planning your breath marks early keeps you relaxed and in control of the phrase.
