Rabbi Eleazer Bernstein (b. Munich 1903) used this manuscript when he served as cantor in various American synagogues in Connecticut and Florida. The traditional Ashkenazic melody of the Kol Nidrei service for the evening of Yom Kippur contains English instructions for musical dynamics, and was written to be performed by one voice.
