[stevenisserlisfan]

around 1:27 in bar 21 should be a g-natural, not a g-sharp according to my barenreiter edition of popper's op.73

[skyd171]

@stevenisserlisfan The actual notes are s, t, f, and u. All sharp.

@stevenisserlisfan OH SHIT. SOMEONE CALL THE NOTE POLICE

[nezvanova]

Thank you for doing this project. I really hope you complete all the studies!

is this a harder version of the overture from bach's 1st cello suite?

[Claytonius170]

@Sugarboxproductions No this is a piece taken from a cello exercise book by popper. The pieces in the book weren't meant for performance, they are tools for building techniques.

[bbayhylle]

I like this video . . . he looks like he's about to crack-up laughing in the beginning.

[aznguyiscool]

[eiarain]

woohoo

I wish I knew to play like this

[justmecasi]

I just want to say that your playing makes me want to switch from playing the violin to playing the cello.

[bailey312]

Dude.  Me too!

[CelloRocks1]

YOU ARE AMAZING!! wish the audio was a bit better though. anyway keep it up

[simplescello]

Wow!

(silence)

Thank you for sharing your special, intense and delicate feeling/vision of this etude.

It´s so musical, it´s so deep, it´s so convincing!

You made me feel this was the most beatiful music I could listen in this moment!

Thank you for playing with so much integrity!

from the core of my heart, really, it changed my day!

[michellecello]

Great to hear you playing, I remember you from back in the day:)

[gofrillercello]

Awesome! I can't wait to see the rest of the 40 Etudes. You don't know me but I play cello in the OYO with your brother Isaac and he's a great guy as well as a wonderful violinist. You are both extremely talented. Bravo!

[cellomatt]

Great playing! Wish it was recorded with better audio, though. Can't wait to see the rest of the etudes!
