Re: Guzikow's music

[Pete Rushefsky <klezbanjo...>]

I'll defer to Alex J and Josh H as the list's resident Gusikow scholars, but 
Zev Feldman performs what I believe is the only surviving known Gusikow tune on 
both his album with Andy Statman as well as the Khevrisa album European Wedding 
Music.  It is a setting of Shir HaMaalot.
Interestingly, Idelsohn (in his Thesaurus of Jewish Music-- can't remember if 
in the cantorial or Hasidic book) documents a string quartet version of the 
piece.
 Michel Borzykowski <borzykowski (at) infomaniak(dot)ch> wrote:Who knows if 
some Guzikow's music could be preserved (notated ??)?

BTW, it seems that some Pedotser's tunes were notated and transmitted to
Beregovski by some of his students. (ie Pedotser's tants, recorded by
Budowitz on CD Mother Tongue ).
Any other ?

>Fascinating story. Guzikow seems to be the earliest "klezmer". Henry
Sapoznik opens his book with a chapter about Guzikov, based on the work
by Josh Horowitz a few years ago. It will definitely be good to see more
work done on his life.
Sorry, I meant, "earliest _reasonably-well-documented_ klezmer".
