Summary/Abstract: The profile of the complex figure that was Abraham Levy (Ivela), active in the first three decades of the 20th century in Romanian musicology and pedagogy, is presented in sub-chapters inviting the reader to discover the musicologist, the composer and organ player, the musical lexicographer (the first one in the history of Romanian music) and teacher - all these in spite of his relatively short life. A member of the Sephardic Community of Bucharest, forced to give up his studies in medicine, he chose music and after a complex education in this domain he managed to totally change Romanian pedagogy, becoming a reference name in this field. The study rediscovers him from the viewpoint of contemporary education underlining Ivela's eminence in musical pedagogy.
