Mark Markovich Warshawsky (Varshavsky) 26 November 1848-1907) was a Yiddish-language folk poet and composer. Born in Odessa into an Ashkenazi Jewish family, he moved with his family as a child to Zhitomir, where he later attended the four-year state rabbinical school. He studied law at Odessa University for one year, completed his law studies at Kiev University, and then practiced law in Kiev. He practiced law throughout his life, barely managing to make a living. In 1903 he moved to Belgium to work as a legal adviser for a firm there. In 1905, he returned to Kiev, where he died two years later. Influenced by Abraham Goldfaden, Warshawsky started to write songs and sing them in his circle of friends accompanied by a piano. He did not take seriously his musical work and never recorded those songs, relying on his memory. Many of his works were spread throughout the Jewish community of the Ukrainian, where most took them to be folk songs. In 1890 Warshawsky met with Sholem Aleichem who prevailed on him to publish them. Sholem Alecihem later wrote the preface to the published work, Yiddishe Volkslider (Kiev, 1900). That book was republished in Russia and elsewhere. The collection included such songs as Der Alef-Beis (commonly known as Oyfn Pripetshik), A Brif fun Amerike, Der Zeide mit der Babe. The songs describe everyday life of Jews in the Russian Empire. Together Sholem Aleichem and Warshawsky started to tour around Russia performing their own repertoire. They also had plans to travel to the United States, however, those plans were left unfulfilled as Warshawsky suddenly became ill and died.
