Site News: Lev Pulver’s Music Scores

Our site’s editors are glad to inform our visitors about the publication of new unique materials: full scores of Leib (Lev) Pulver’s music for performances based on Sholem Aleichem’s works “Wandering Stars” and “The Big Winner” (also known as “200,000”).

Leib Pulver (1883-1970) was a major figure of the Moscow GOSET (State Jewish Theatre). He was the composer of 42 performances staged by this theater, its conductor and the head of its musical department.

Until recently, only individual fragments of Pulver’s music and a few of his minor compositions were believed to have survived. Our publication of complete scores of his major works is a big step towards the systematic exploration of this remarkable composer’s vast legacy.
