A combination of two jewish dances, of which the first is repeated: Lebedik and Freylekh (Lively and joyfully). At the beginning of the 20th century one third of the population of Odessa was Jewish (See also The Train at 7:40, and they loved to do a fast dance in the “bulgarian style”.

The musical mode in this piece is called “Ukrainian Minor”, and it’s origin is the Misheberakh Mode, used in the Sabbath morning prayer.

Odessa? Ukrainian? Can it be that this Klezmer has gained some significance lately?
