In this episode I play another piece by David Popper. It is called a Tarantella. This type of dance comes from southern Italy. It is danced by couples and I think it is still played at some weddings to this day. It is fairly energetic, upbeat and I hope it gives you a bit of energy too. I recorded the comments separately because I found it a bit hard to concentrate right after talking.

  • Oh man!

    The tarantella dance style originated in the erroneous belief that a bite of a Italian/European wolf spider, Lycosa tarantula, was fatal unless this crazy whirling dance was done to the point of exhaustion. This was during the middle ages, or rennaisance... i can't quite remember. I wanted to comment since the beginning... but waited until i had something to contribute... this couldn't be more perfect.

  • Thank you for making this nice comment. I was debating mentioning something in the podcast but I thought it would take too much time. You describe it really well.

  • Beautiful bow technique! Very enjoyable! Thank you!

  • luke, you are the best cellist i have ever heard! Keep up the good work!

  • so do i!

  • i love the double stops!!

  • This piece looks very fun to play. Especially the double stops at the end. This is one I would want to play in the future sometime along with the allegro apassionato by Saint-Seans. I do like all of Popper's work. My favorite though is his Hungarian Rhapsody, but this is right next to it.

  • thanks for playing it a little slower

    it was great for tips on how to learn it

  • too slow but very good tone and no rushing, good job

  • You always play everything very well! Bravo, bravo and bravo!! Will it be ever possible to watch You on concert here on YouTube (perhaps with a full orchestra, recital, with piano or whatever)? I turned to be a big fan of You and your cello journeys! :-)

  • good to see this piece without piano

  • this is so cool... i wish i could play like him... when i'm better at playing the violin, i WILL start cello lessons!! :D
