Hello Juan Carlos Gomez Fernandes:

A catalog of Simeon Bellison's music collection contains a listing of
many works for clarinet by Russian Jewish composers. This
extraordinary collection is housed at the Rubin Academy of Music in
Jerusalem. Bellison commissioned many of the works, and Bellison
himself did many arrangements of works by these composers. As most
of the compositions date from the early part of this century, many
employ Jewish/Russian folk-like melodies. The collection
contains solo and chamber music, as well as arrangements for his
"Clarinet Ensemble," many of which cannot be obtained elsewhere,
and many are real gems. I will be performing a concert with some of
these pieces in the near future.

You can obtain a copy of the Bellison Collection catalog by writing
to:

Librarian,
Rubin Academy of Music
Givat Ram campus
Jerusalem, Israel
