Rather a niche discovery, but in poking around among the #klezmer copyright scores I got from the US Library of Congress over the last year, I noticed that one of Max Leibowitz's 1919 submissions is a well known piece from the klez #violin repertoire commonly called Romanian Fantasy No. 3. Leibowitz was a Romanian violinist living in New York who I believe started the trend of klezmer musicians copyrighting folk melodies.

Here's the other side of Sam Young's disc Chupe Tantz (wedding canopy dance). Sounding a bit more #Jewish or #Romanian in the modulations but otherwise quite similar to the previous.

I'll have to do a blog post about what I can find about Sam Young sometime. No one seems to know much about him or have his other few #78rpm discs.
