Hello klezmerlovers, Here's a message/question for all tsimbl-players. Sometime ago r.l.reid send a e-mail to inform about a painting of Maurycy Tre,bacz "Koncert Jankiela" Muzeum Z'IH; visible via <http://www.jewishmuseum.org.pl/obrazy.html>.
Jankiela plays the tsimbl in a reversed way. I only once met a boy who learned himself to play russian tsimbaly, in this way, his repertoire was part of a rock 'n roll band/pop music. Looking at the painting there's a small boy wondering what's happening. Jankiela himself gaze "ins Blaue hinein", and the soldier behind the musician/ klezmer whispers modest to the lady (?). Looking at the painting you're wondering what's the matter. BUT are there any serious tsimbl-players playing in the reverse way. Or is this a mistake of the painter? Who knows?
