(24 months)
The Kiselgof-Makonovetsky Critical Editions will make available music manuscripts that will broaden the range of accessible early twentieth-century European Jewish music resources, recenter the repertoires of key klezmer musician informants, and will contextualize the work of Europe's revered twentieth-century Jewish ethnomusicological researchers. The Series will develop a new proposed standard for transliteration of Yiddish dialect to be presented alongside YIVO Yiddish, addressing a long-standing need for systematic, searchable text that preserves the idiom of Ashkenazic dialects. |
