Stempenyu (Yiddish: סטעמפּעניו, 1822–79) was the popular name of Iosif Druker (יוסף דרוקער), a klezmer violin virtuoso, bandleader and composer from Berdychiv, Russian Empire.[1][2] He was one of a handful of celebrity nineteenth century Jewish folk violinists from Ukraine; others included Aron-Moyshe Kholodenko "Pedotser" (also from Berdychiv) and Yechiel Goyzman "Alter Chudnover" from Chudniv.[3][4][5] Sholem Aleichem loosely based his 1888 novel Stempenyu: A Jewish Novel on the real-life Stempenyu; it was adapted into various stage and film versions in the twentieth century.[6]
