Pieces 1–8 are for 1 or 2 clarinets and accompaniment, and 9–12 are for 1 clarinet and accompaniment. This edition consists of a piano score, clarinet duet score, and an alternate duet score for violins (or other C instruments). Also included is an audio CD of both accompaniment and listening versions; the electric piano is performed by Peter Przystaniak, and clarinet by Irith Gabriely. A viola duet score and double bass/cello part are each available separately.Peter Przystaniak (b. 1956) is a German pianist and composer, and Irith Gabriely (b. 1950) is an Israeli clarinettist and singer. Although the editor indicates that "priority should...be given to performances with clarinet(s)," he also offers that the following possible combinations are also possible:
- 1 or 2 Violins (or other C instruments)
- 1 B-flat Clarinet & 1 Violin
- 1 or 2 Violas (with separately purchased viola part)
- 1 Viola & 1 Clarinet (or Violin)
- Pieces 1 through 8 can remove piano accompaniment and be played as duets
- Pieces 1 through 8 have a separate written-out bass part for Double Bass (or Cello), and chord notation for chordal guitar (separately available for purchase)
Given its ensemble flexibility, That's Klezmer could be used in a classroom setting with a wide range of instruments. Each piece is 1–2 pages long, and the demands are evenly spread between the two solo instrument parts; the first part has a higher range, but stays at or below the clarion register.
