Violin Music by Jewish Composers

Violin Music by Jewish Composers is an impressive anthology for violin and piano, edited by Bella and Semjon Kalinowsky. The collection is dedicated to composers whose lives and works reflect Jewish life and participation in Western musical culture of the 19th and first half of the 20th century in very different ways. The edition unites musical voices of very different degrees of fame and also draws attention to works that are rarely heard today or are sometimes considered lost.

The anthology makes visible the extraordinarily large contribution that Jewish composers have made to musical life in modern Europe and America. This edition is therefore not only an enrichment for the classroom and concert repertoire, but also an exciting musical journey of discovery beyond the standard canon.
