Summary/Abstract: In this article will be highlighted the personality of Alexander Bidirel, a violinist fiddler of oral tradition from Bucovina,who worked in the mid-twentieth century. In the Romanian ethnomusicology, we can find limited data about Alexandru Bidirel. We refer to the Ethnography and Folklore Magazine, in which an article by the ethnomusicologist Tiberiu Alexandruis published, a number of unpublished manuscripts of Alexander Voievidca, the memories of this fiddler and a series of sound documents which are in the I.C.E.D. heritage, recorded by Constantin Brăiloiu. In this context, by exposing the respective information, we will put into circuit a series of data about his activity and the repertoire he promoted, thus contributing to the completion of the traditional sound landscape in Bukovina and the scientific documentation and valorisation of the presented material.
