POPPER PROJECT #12: Joshua Roman plays Etude no. 12 for cello by David Popper

This Etude filmed in New York, NY.

Pretty wiry, this one...

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.

No.12 is almost like a concertino, certainly one of the hardest of the 40.

Hopefully no All-State auditions will ever call for this etude, or it will be the teacher's head that's in more pain than the student's thumb...

Great playing Josh!

Popper is the one responsible for giving my thumb a pillow on its right side. : )
