Subj: Klezmer in Klose?
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 1994 15:04:26 -0500

Some years ago, when I was first immersing myself in
klezmer music, there was a lively tune I would find myself
recalling but couldn't find in the collections of
freilachs and shers I was playing.

Finally I realized that that tune I thought was a klezmer
tune was an exercise out of the Klose "Celebrated Method."

Check out the syncopation exercise (duet number 5 on page 94
of Bellison's edition for Carl Fischer). Is that klezmeresque
or what?
