Юлиан Крейн

Yulian Kreyn (or Julian Krein, Юлиан Крейн) was a composing prodigy who went on to a solid career in Soviet music, though not well known outside the borders of the former Eastern bloc. He came from a musical family that originated in Lithuania. His grandfather Abram Kreyn, was a musical scholar, collector of Jewish folk music, and highly esteemed klezmer violinist, who moved his family to Niznhy-Novgorod (later Gorkii) in Russia. Abram's seven sons received their musical education from him.
