People seem to either ignore your request for folk music by just recommending Austrian artist's music in general or they are confused about what folk music actually is.
My favourite interpretation of a traditional piece of Austrian folk music is Admonter Echojodler by ALMA

OP, sorry to say but everything from S.T.S., Wolfgang Ambros, Rainhard Fendrich, Ludwig Hirsch, Georg Danzer (and of course Falco) doesn't really fit your criteria. They made great music which, however, literally was called Austropop and as such had all the instrumentation, arrangements, song structure, target group etc. of their international role models, i.e. beat and pop bands/artists of the 60s and 70s. Music-wise, there was nothing that could be described as folk or traditional.

That's not really folk music (and actually way too lofty tbh).
EDIT: If OP also wants to enter a "patriotic" folk song, I'd recommend STS "I bin aus Österreich". Literally the same title in Austrian German but completely different contents, it's about the mixed ancestry of most Austrians which the singer is proud on - and it's in dialect:

Love this idea, ill save the playlist. For austria: no idea, sorry. Its mostly schlager (trashy musik, basic mass acceptable lyrics to party to, modern instrumentstion), austropop (just austrian pop music i would say), and... I rarely heard real traditional austrian music. I guess it says a lot about austria and about my invested time in discovering it. (Yeah im also to blame)
So im curious what will land in this list :)

That would be my entry for Vienna - I guess for Austria it makes sense to enter both Viennese songs and classical countryside songs since they are quite different, especially in the instruments used, if you compare that one with Hubert von Goisern's "Brennen tuats guat" mentioned below (I'd definitely secound that one).

What about austropop? It's a typical Austrian style of music dating back to around 1970.
2
u/ROCCOCCO09 28d ago
I know that Austropop is often associated with folk music, so I assume that an Austropop song is fine if it can clearly also be considered folk based on its structure, instrumentation, or other characteristics

u/viohlala 28d ago
Austropop is not folk music at all. It is pop music sung in Austrian dialect. Most of these suggestions aren't folk music lmao But it really depends on who you ask.
What I learned in a course about Austrian folk music:
Austrian folk music has some characteristics: a lot of triads, harmony mostly based on major scales and mostly Tonica and Dominant (I-V-I)
Voice leading in thirds and sixths
Some typical dance styles associated with folk music that also dictate most of the music: Waltz, Ländler, Boarischer, Polka, March
Typical structures in songs: there is rules on how the parts are typically repeated and in which order you play them. It usually follows the circle of fifths. (E.g. 1st part g major, 2nd d major, 1st part repeated, 3rd part in c major....)
Some instruments typical for Austrian folk music are: violin, double bass, most brass instruments, clarinet, styrian harmonica, zither, hackbrett and harp, as well as acoustic guitar. And singing of course. Yodeling is also typical, additionally to the usual two to four part singing.

Traditional folk music or modern interpretation (Volksmusik vs volkstümliche Musik)?
