Yiddish/Klezmer Piano Music
Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 10:44 pm
Gustav Mahler's music contains some Jiddish and/or Klezmer elements, in his 1st symphony, e. g. Leonard Bernstein gives some short examples in "Who is Gustav Mahler" (Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts, 1960), see http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/230627/ ... -/overview and http://www.amazon.com/Leonard-Bernstein ... B0002S641O #8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HqumFpU ... re=related.
Are there available any piano scores/albums of (orginal) Klezmer etc. music? Unfortunately, I'm absolutely unable to improvise such phantastic sounds. I just arrived from Krakov (Cracow/Krakau, Poland) where I visited a Jewish restaurant with a ravishing 60 minutes Klezmer Trio's show - much too short. In a very good Jewish bookshop they couldn't help me only with CDs, but no scores at all.
Maybe this kind of music is not suitable for being written down, but I do hope to be wrong. Any help, please?
