POPPER PROJECT #13: Joshua Roman plays Etude no. 13 for cello by David Popper

This Etude filmed in San Francisco, CA

The Paganini Caprice of the Popper Etudes! I like this one, but it seems like Popper just got tired of the double-stops at the end - so it's quite abrupt and out of character with the rest of the Etude.

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.

@schumacherenator The main part of that middle section is a strong thumb. Once you accomplished that, 2nd finger trills will be much easier. My private teacher gave me advice on to practice it. I was told to do the section first with trills only, and move on to other notes after. Very very helpful advice for me.

God damn I love that middle section. I wish I could coerce my fingers into doing it properly

@Iamcartmanxd AMEN!

[jmanuelpblandon]

This song is the better of all popper etudes and is beutifoul and relaxing

= )

Jesus Christ... I can't even get past the first few measures!

To anyone who says that the intonation should have been better, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO PLAY THIS ETUDE??? This is (at least in my opinion) one of the hardest Popper etudes in the book! Congrats on giving such a fabulous performance and I hope to hear more of you in the future!

@pbyshelley you know he can, that's lynn harrell!

My point ! Why only two weeks preparation? I would love to hear Joshua play it at his FULL potential,which IS TOTALLY AMAZING, not just after only a short time... I think there is too much stuff on Youtube that is not good high quality, that's all...
