Although Klezmer—a style of traditional Jewish folk music from Eastern Europe—grew from
very diverse musical traditions, Roma(Gypsy), Greek, and Romanian elements eventually
became so predominant that some scholars refused to recognized klezmer as a separate
genre. If one listens closely, however, one can learn to distinguish the sound of a Klezmer
interpretation from other related performance styles. Yiddish-speaking Jews routinely use
several uniquely descriptive words to identify the sounds found in the Jewish approach to
music. Krekht(Yiddish for “groan”)refers to a wailing sound reminiscent of weeping, tshok
refers to a laugh-like instrumental sound; and a kneytsh is a sob-like “catch”. These and other
elements typical of klezmer are also found in other forms of Jewish musical expression,
including cantorial music.
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. It can be inferred that the author would be likely to agree with the highlighted “some
scholars” about whether
A. any traditions other than Roam, Greek and Romanian contributed to the development of
klezmer
B. the degree of resemblance between klezmer and the Roma, Greek, and Romanian
traditions is enough to preclude klezmer’s being a separate musical genre
C. such musical devices as the krekhts are found throughout Jewish musical expression
這題我選C，但答案給Ａ
我認為A錯
很明顯文章在第四句的時候有轉折，其後以Y學者的研究闡述“其實K音樂跟其他類型的J音樂還是有區別的“
但作者並沒有否定Roam, Greak.... etc
但A選項用了other than
