As It Was Written: A Jewish Musician's Story is a memoir written by Sidney Luska and originally published in 1885. The book tells the story of Luska's life as a Jewish musician in the late 19th century. Born in Poland, Luska immigrated to the United States as a young man and became a prominent performer and composer of Jewish music. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on Luska's early life in Poland and his journey to America. He describes the poverty and anti-Semitism he faced in his homeland and the challenges of starting a new life in a foreign country. Luska also writes about his experiences as a musician in New York City, where he played in various Jewish orchestras and composed music for synagogue services.The second part of the book is a collection of Luska's original compositions, including hymns, psalms, and liturgical music. He provides detailed instructions on how to perform each piece and explains the significance of the melodies and lyrics. As It Was Written offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a Jewish musician in the late 19th century and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of Jewish music.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
