This is the same tune known famously as "der Heyser Bulgar". In fact, I'm pretty sure Naftule Brandwein is playing clarinet on this version as well.
(From Wikipedia) Abe Schwartz (1881-1963) was a well-known klezmer musician of the 1920s. He was born outside of Bucharest, Romania, and moved to the United States in 1899. He soon distinguished himself as a talented arranger and composer of music, as well as a violinist, pianist, and bandleader. The famous klezmer clarinetist Naftule Brandwein played for a time in Schwartz's ensemble.
