Overview
English Overview
A klezmer zene és eredete offers an in-depth exploration of klezmer music, tracing its evolution from the 13th to the 20th century. Walter Salmen, a renowned musicologist with over 30 publications, presents a pioneering study that clarifies foundational concepts and examines the transformation of Jewish musicians' roles over the centuries. The book details the rich interplay between Jewish and non-Jewish musical traditions in Eastern and Central Europe and explains how klezmer revival, initiated in America and Israel during the last quarter of the 20th century, has captivated the world. With extensive illustrations, historical documents, never-before-seen engravings, and an accompanying CD featuring authentic modern klezmer sounds, this volume is both scholarly and accessible.
Hungarian Overview (Áttekintés)
A klezmer zene és eredete című mű mélyrehatóan tárgyalja a klezmer zene kialakulását és fejlődését a 13. századtól a 20. századig. Walter Salmen, elismert zenetudós, aki több mint 30 zenetörténeti kiadvány szerzője, először foglalja össze a manapság oly népszerű klezmer zene eredetét és öt évszázados fejlődését. A könyv részletesen elemzi a zsidó zenészek társadalmi helyzetének alakulását, a különböző hangszeres együttesek és előadóművészek tevékenységét, valamint a zene funkcióit a rituális események és mindennapi élet számos területén. Különösen gazdag illusztrációs anyagával, korabeli metszeteivel, dokumentumokkal és egy CD-vel, amely autentikus mai klezmer zenét tartalmaz, a kötet átfogó képet nyújt a témáról.
