Rosowsky, Zeitlin, Achron, Gnessin

These were musicians and composers in Palestine in the 1920's, contemporaries 
of Joel Engel.  Their music was published by the Juwal publishing house, run by 
Engel.  I have acquired some photocopies of chamber music written by these 
composers: "Fantastischer Tanz" for piano trio by Rosowsky, "Reb Nachman's 
Niggun" by Zeitlin for string quartet or quintet, "Elegy" by Achron and 
"Variations" by Gnessin, both for string quartet (the title page says "klei 
shir kashtiim").

Does anyone have any information about these composers?  Anything would be of 
interest.  Thanks,

Yoel Epstein
