Jeffrey Wollock, "Fun kleyn-shtetldikn klezmer biz kontsert-virtuoz"
[From small town klezmer to concert virtuoso].  It seems to be common
knowledge that the roots of the great Jewish violinists were in

through the generations happened.  Mr. Wollock shows in detail
exactly how this transformation occured in several famous musical
families.[part one only]
