POPPER PROJECT #29: Joshua Roman plays Etude no. 29 for cello by David Popper (the admirer)

As I was practicing this one I had the image of a rather shy admirer trying to screw up the courage to knock at the door of the object of his affection. He goes through many emotions, obviously. I haven't decided what the end is, perhaps he finally calms himself down and knocks, or maybe she sees him through the window and opens the door herself...

Filmed at my apartment in NY.

Check out my website: joshuaroman.com there are some blog entries about this project there as well.

The Popper Project is a no frills journey in which every week, for 40 weeks, Joshua Roman will post another Etude online from David Popper's "The High School of Cello Playing: 40 Etudes". Each Etude is unedited and filmed wherever Joshua and his laptop happen to be.

It sound so easy when you play it. It's really unfair, because I think I can do it, too and then have give up after few tries.

Awesome. Truly awesome.
