Klezmer's Afterlife
Author Magdalena Waligorska offers not only a documentation of the klezmer revival in two of its European headquarters (Kraków and Berlin), but also an analysis of the Jewish / non-Jewish encounter it generates.
New York Klezmer in the Early Twentieth Century
The music of clarinetists Naftule Brandwein and Dave Tarras is iconic of American klezmer music. Their legacy has had an enduring impact on the development of the popular world music genre.

Sounding Jewish in Berlin
This book tells the story of Berlin's dynamic klezmer scene, tracing the ongoing dialogue between traditional Yiddish folk music and the creativity and modern urbanity of the German capital. It reveals how contemporary klezmer has become not only a product but also a producer of the city.
Dislocated Memories
The first volume of its kind, Dislocated Memories: Jews, Music, and Postwar German Culture draws together three significant areas of inquiry: Jewish music, German culture, and the legacy of the Holocaust. Jewish music - a highly debated topic - encompasses a multiplicity of musics and cultures, reflecting an inherent and evolving hybridity and transnationalism. German culture refers to an equally diverse concept that, in this volume, includes the various cultures of prewar Germany, occupied Germany, the divided and reunified Germany, and even "German (Jewish) memory," which is not necessarily physically bound to Germany. In the context of these perspectives, the volume makes powerful argumen...
Klezmer
Klezmer - das ist Jüdische Musik und Jüdische Kultur. Manche bezeichnen mit Klezmer ein neues Genre, gleichzusetzen mit Jazz, andere sehen hingegen in Klezmer die verschwundene Musik einer kulturellen Minderheit. Klezmer ist dabei aber auch Musik, die ganz eindeutig zu erkennen ist, obwohl sie in den verschiedensten Stilen und vielen Varianten existiert. Das Buch gibt Einsichten in Herkunft und geschichtliche Entwicklung, Formen und Strukturen, Modi, Skalen und Harmonik, Aufführungspraxis und Improvisationsstile, Verzierungsarten und Instrumentationen von Klezmer-Musik. Darüber hinaus helfen Darstellungen zu zahlreichen Musikerpersönlichkeiten und ihrem kulturellen Umfeld, «Klezmer» zu definieren sowie das Phänomen in seinen vielen Facetten zu erforschen und zu erklären. Anhand von zwölf Transkriptionen eines der meistgespielten Klezmer Standards - des «Heyser Bulgar» - werden schliesslich dessen grundlegende Merkmale untersucht und verständlich gemacht. In den ausgewählten und sehr unterschiedlichen Interpretationen aus 80 Jahren Klezmer-Geschichte werden Unterschiede wie Gemeinsamkeiten der Klezmergruppen und -generationen fassbar.
Fiddler on the Move
"Klezmer" is a Yiddish word for professional folk instrumentalist-the flutist, fiddler, and bass player that made brides weep and guests dance at weddings throughout Jewish eastern Europe before the culture was destroyed in the Holocaust, silenced under Stalin, and lost out to assimilation in America. Klezmer music is now experiencing a tremendous new spurt of interest worldwide with both Jews and non-Jews recreating this restless volatile, and vibrant musical culture. Firmly centered in the United States, klezmer has paradoxically moved back across the Atlantic as a distinctly "American" music, played throughout central and eastern Europe, as well as in many other parts of the world. Fiddle...
The Accordion in the Americas
An invention of the Industrial Revolution, the accordion provided the less affluent with an inexpensive, loud, portable, and durable "one-man-orchestra" capable of producing melody, harmony, and bass all at once. Imported from Europe into the Americas, the accordion with its distinctive sound became a part of the aural landscape for millions of people but proved to be divisive: while the accordion formed an integral part of working-class musical expression, bourgeois commentators often derided it as vulgar and tasteless. This rich collection considers the accordion and its myriad forms, from the concertina, button accordion, and piano accordion familiar in European and North American music t...
