This is a wonderful collection of Klezmer music, inspired by the Jewish dances and songs of the klezmorim from Eastern Europe: from the lyrical Hora to the fast, compelling Freilach. Also audible is the influence of more recent Israeli folk music a la Giora Feidman. Some of the pieces have a second part ad libitum - for laying together or for variation in a repeat. For the accompaniment, chord symbols have been added, and on the enclosed CD there are complete versions as well as play-along versions of all pieces, played live by genuine Klezmer musicians.

Cadenzas to concerti by Viotti, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms.

Joseph Joachim's 'Fantasies on Hungarian and Irish [Scottish] Themes' was his first virtuoso music for the violin with orchestral accompaniment. Joachim was intent on creating popular works, not least at the urging of his family, but they also bore witness to his urbanity: the young Jewish-Hungarian musician spent many summers in England and its familiar, Irish melodies held great appeal for English audiences. Performances of the 'Fantasy on Hungarian Themes' in German cities met his need for self-display as the 'Hungarian lad', to use MendelssohnÂ's jocular epithet. Joachim was well aware that the style hongrois was all the rage in European capitals.

This republication offers an exposition of the essential features of the system of technical violin instruction pursued by Joseph Joachim.
