"This book covers such things as: the history of Klezmer, ornamentation, playing techniques, modes and scales, Klezmer repertoire, regional and individual styles, extensive discography, bibliography and glossary of Yiddish terms."--back cover.

"All the tunes in the book also appear on the accompanying CD. Some (mostly the MP3 tracks) are solo violin with rhythm fiddle accompaniments. Others are band recordings, with various combinations of instruments. Most of the tunes are played just once, without introduction or outro (although there is a section on how to create these for yourself). A few tracks are longer and more like proper performances."--page 8
