David Popper

High School of Cello Playing op. 73

This edition of David Popper’s cello studies is the first modern publication of these standard works. The Austrian born Popper composed these studies in the late 1890s during his tenure at the Royal Conservatory in Budapest and they were first published between 1901 and 1905.

The 40 etudes op. 73 focus on a wide range of techniques found in the major works of the cello literature. Martin Rummel’s edition offers new bowings and fingerings to reflect modern playing. A German/English brochure includes technical tips and information by Rummel as well as references to the cello literature where the individual techniques are applied.
