Popular Concert Pieces, volume 1, Cello; David Popper

Popular Concert Pieces for cello and piano, Volume 1 by David Popper

Published by Editio Musica Budapest

Prague-born cellist David Popper (1843-1913) was a leading virtuoso, chamber musician, and pedagogue of the cello of the nineteenth century. He was a prolific writer of music for the cello; he wrote numerous showpieces for the concert hall and salon, many of them extending the expressive range of the instrument. He is perhaps best-known for his cello methods, which are still widely used today.

This collection from Editio Musica Budapest brings together several of Popper's delightful salon and concert pieces, all approachable for intermediate players and many hard-to-find in other publications. Grade 3
