Here are transcriptions of all of the extant Belf recordings. The
first forty tunes are transcribed from
Kurt Bjorling's Resource Recordings.
The tunes are listed in the same order as his recordings and use the same
titles, alphabet, and spelling as Bjorling (followed sometimes by alternatives).
More information about the intent and scope of the transcriptions is here. More information about the tune titles is here. Platch Yevreia (#41) is not availble yet.
