Klezmer Playbook 2 – New!
Klezmer Playbook 2 is a compilation of 50 traditional klezmer tunes that are regularly played around the world at sessions and festivals by the klezmer community. All melodies have been respectfully transcribed from historical sources and carefully arranged, with professionally recorded playalongs for digital download. It is the sequel to the Klezmer Playbook and follows the same format, hence the tunes are numbered 51-100. This book is available in six editions, so it is suitable for all instruments and perfect for ensembles – you just need the right book for your instrument!

About the playalongs
The playalongs, professionally recorded by Susi on clarinet and Szilvia on piano, are a fun way to learn the tunes and beneficial to practising phrasing, style, rhythm and intonation. There are four playalong tracks for each tune in practise tempo, dance tempo and with and without melody.
