Summary of This Method
Designed to meet the demand for a simpler version of the famous "Klezmer Collection," this method gathers a selection of pieces specially chosen for beginner instrumentalists. Klezmer, born in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries, is characterized by a blend of European, Near Eastern, and Gypsy influences, with expressive and very lyrical melodies. Here, the goal is clear: to offer entry-level arrangements that sound good, are easy to handle, and allow players to enjoy themselves quickly, whether playing solo or in a small ensemble.
Each title is offered in several keys and clefs (C, Bb, Eb, and bass clef), making the book particularly practical for mixed sections: brass, woodwinds (reeds), piano, flute, and strings can share the same repertoire without complication. The accompaniment audio (online access) features ensemble versions of all the pieces, performed at slow tempos, to work on timing, ornamentation, and klezmer style with a reference listening (clarinet, violin, guitar, and bass).
