this kind of thing is really what I live for & I hope to make discoveries like this one day. to think that thousands of klezmer musicians immigrated to the US, lived and died over the course of the 20th century. there must be more out there whose old music scores are with descendants who don't understand their significance.

one interesting thing in this trove of random scores is that these mystery Romanian #klezmer scores by Isidore Moscovitz show up again different drafts and even some published versions printed in Vienna in the 20s ("Dansul poporului Rom芒n" by I. Moscovitz, edited by B. Greif). 馃

Moscovitz went on a tear of copyrighting Romanian klezmer dances in 1925 (this list corresponds to the scores in my blog post above). I had been confused why he was copyrighting them if they were never recorded, but now it makes sense that it was a music publication thing, or at least aspirationally.
