Re: curious klezmer clarinetist

I'm surprised to see so much emphasis placed upon ready-made transcriptions. It's very hard for me to imagine klezmer written out in standard notation--or any kind of notation, really, although I am aware that many bands do in fact take this approach. I've never been able to successfully notate any of the klezmer tunes that I play, and I think they would lose a great deal in translation. Certainly, the advice to purchase the accompanying CD to the Sapoznik book is quite sound; however, I very much recommend that you try your hand at learning the music solely by ear.
