for context a box of scores and ephemera for the eclectic klezmer cimbalom player and restaurateur Joseph Moskowitz were discovered in the attic of a relative last year and photographed and posted here. it contains a lot of his messy working scores in collaborating with other musicians and drafts of different pieces. not really organized yet but there's some cool stuff in here.

reminder, this zoom event commemorating the launch of Joseph Moskowitz's archive is today at 2pm EST. a great klezmer composer, cimbalom player, owner of Moskowitz & Lupowitz restaurant which was once a great nightlife spot for New York celebs.

glad this is coming together; a year ago when I was in NYC Pete Rushefsky met me and was telling me a trove of handwritten scores from cimbalom player Joseph Moskowitz had been uncovered in DC. I'll probably speak at this zoom about the old NY klezmer characters who appear in these scores.

randomly thought of this legendary bootleg wedding video featuring my musical hero Toni Iordache, as well as some other legends of Romanian music like Ionică Minune and Ion Drăgoi

take on the tune by this great historically informed performance group from Suceava called Zicălașii. they have hours of performances on youtube if you want to hear 1-200 year old Romanian dances.

Moscovitz went on a tear of copyrighting Romanian klezmer dances in 1925 (this list corresponds to the scores in my blog post above). I had been confused why he was copyrighting them if they were never recorded, but now it makes sense that it was a music publication thing, or at least aspirationally.

would love to get a good scan to put out there, but in the meantime here is the Romanian dances pub. listed in Börsenblatt für den deutschen Buchhandel, February 11 1928 issue, along with another Waltz by Moscovitz.
