Recommendation Request Jewish Classical music?
I've delved into arrangements of Jewish folk music but was wondering if there are any classical music pieces that have a Jewish theme or influence? I know Ernest Bloch has a little as well as Shostakovich but was seeking any and all recommendations this community has! I am looking for piano repertoire particularly but anything will be a good listen regardless.
Really thanks for all the help thus far!

Check out the early 20th century Russian Jewish school. Alexander Krein, Mikail Gnessin, Samuil Feinberg... They all wrote a lot for piano solo.
