As It Was Written: A Jewish Musician's Story is a memoir written by Sidney Luska in 1885. The book tells the story of Luska's life as a Jewish musician in the late 19th century. Luska was born in Poland in 1842 and immigrated to the United States in 1857. He became a professional musician and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe. In the book, Luska describes his experiences as a Jewish musician in a time when anti-Semitism was rampant. He discusses the challenges he faced as a Jewish musician trying to make a living in a predominantly Christian society. He also shares his thoughts on the role of music in Jewish culture and religion. As It Was Written provides a unique perspective on Jewish life and culture in the late 19th century. The book is written in a straightforward, honest style and provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a Jewish musician during this time period. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Jewish history, music, or culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
