The CD includes newly recorded (and selected historical) performances of each tune, together with a complete set of backings. Alternatively,

"Ilana Cravitz's Klezmer Fiddle, A How-To-Guide is an invaluable, scholarly and illuminating book/CD, the best exposition I've come across of Eastern European-style Jewish fiddle playing." - Folk Roots Magazine, October 09 "This book is really exciting . . . Ilana provides a series of perfectly delivered lessons, with a fabulous collection of recordings, to facilitate immersion into the music. Klezmer tends to be a minority interest, but if you or your higher grade pupils have even a remote interest in the music, order this book and get stuck in immediately - it's one of the best I've seen. An ideal antedote to course work and exams, and klezmer bands are in great demand!" - Sue Rivett, Arco (European String Teachers'
Association Magazine) "Klezmer Fiddle: a how-to guide, a wonderful everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-klezmer-fiddle but were afraid to ask book, is extremely comprehensive, and does a great job teaching a violinist how to play klezmer. It's a must for klezmorim who are seeking to master the art of the klezmer fiddle . . . The how-to element of this book is very effective, whether it's about reproducing some of the traditional ornaments or adding a sekund line. While giving lots of specific direction, Cravitz also provides alternate ways of playing a melody and leaves ample room for creativity and improvisation. It should be fairly easy to put together a very nice sounding ensemble in short order using the combination of her books." -
www.klezkidz.org "Cravitz's new book is, without doubt, a very valuable addition to the klezmer canon . . . Klezmer Fiddle has been meticulously put together with impressive attention to detail . . . this book also comes with an excellent CD that includes recordings of each tune and, rather brilliantly, backing tracks, so that once you're familiar with the music you can play along with your very own klezmer band live in your living room . . . A particularly precious element of the book is the inclusion of delightful new klezmer tunes written by Cravitz and accordionist Jm Marcovitch." - Sophie Solomon., The Strad, March 2009. "We have waited a long time for just such a rich resource on klezmer music and how to play it. We feel it is
ideal for all students of klezmer, whatever their instrument, because of the detailed background information on the tradition, the style and repertoire not to mention the CDs and the Yiddish Glossary." - Geraldine Auerbach, Director, Jewish Music Institute
