The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a YouTube premiere performance by Ryan MacEvoy McCullough of Book II of Juliusz Wolfsohn’s Paraphrasen, a collection of virtuosic piano fantasies based on Yiddish folksongs. Wolfsohn, a Warsaw-born pianist, critic and composer active in Vienna’s Association for the Promotion of Jewish Music, later settled in the United States, where he died in 1944. The program highlights one of several works he composed drawing on Eastern European Jewish themes.
