Joseph Achron
Joseph Achron (1886-1943) was born in the city of Lazdijai, part of the Russian Empire which is now independent Lithuania.
He was Jewish and a lot of his compositions reflect his wish to develop a Jewish musical idiom, particularly in terms of melody and harmony.
On this website you can find an accompaniment for his heartfelt Hebrew Melody, Op.33, which was made famous by performances given by the great violinist Jascha Heifetz. A link can be found below.
