         Klezmers are Jewish folk musicians, performers of traditional folk 
songs and melodies. Since ancient time they played more often in vagrant 
troupes of three to five performers. Almost every wedding ceremony, dancing 
party, festive gathering on a public holiday or fair in a Jewish settlement, as 
well as Jewish quarter in a city, couldn't do without them. Violins, dulcimers, 
contrabass, clarinets, pipes, flutes, drums and cymbals were the usual 
instruments in a Klezmer troupe. Klezmer music was very popular in Europe and 
not only among the Jews. That is why it always competed with the Christian 
musicians. While not having any formal musical training, the Klezmers were 
masterful musicians and were often invited to perform in the houses of the 
rich. The Jewish people right up to the present have passed down the traditions 
of Klezmer s music. The represented recordings from the first half of the 
twentieth century are further proof of the vitality of this music.
