from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arn-Mojsche Cholodenko (* 1828 ; † 1902 ) was a Russian - Jewish violinist , composer and klezmer musician .

Life

He learned the musical craft from the klezmer musician IM Rabinowitsch . Cholodenko edited popular musical numbers for his twelve-person band, but for special festivities this band increased to 18 players. Presumably he also ran several chapels under his name. He was soon very famous as a violin virtuoso and as a Jewish Paganini . He was popular and known less under his real name than under the name Pedotser . His repertoire consisted of popular classical concerts of his time, such as romantic violin concertos and concert pieces, and self-composed fantasies and variations on popular Yiddish and Ukrainian folk songs . He expanded these to larger forms such as in classical music. Cholodenko was also known for imitating bird calls on the violin.
