Pedotser

[1][2][3][4][5] He was one of a number of virtuosic klezmers of the nineteenth century, alongside Yosef Drucker "Stempenyu", Yehiel Goyzman "Alter Chudnover" and Josef Gusikov.

[6][7][8][9] According to Moisei Beregovsky, Pedotser's ensemble was the best in Berdychiv and his compositions were among the most popular pieces at Jewish weddings in Ukraine in the late nineteenth century.

[10][11] Although he did not publish or record any music during his lifetime, a number of klezmer compositions and dances still being played in the twentieth century were attributed to him.

After his death Pedotser's most famous compositions continued to circulate in Ukraine and were passed down in the repertoire of klezmer ensembles, or written down in manuscripts of bandleaders or musicians who learned them.

[21][22] And the Zimro Ensemble, a modern sextet drawing on Jewish folk music sources which toured the world in 1918–21, played some of his pieces (a taxim and another called "Gahit") as part of their repertoire.
