Popper was a prolific composer of cello music, writing four concertos, a Requiem for three cellos and orchestra (1891) and a number of smaller pieces which are still played today, including the solo piece Tarantella. His shorter showpieces were written to highlight the unique sound and style of the cello, extending the instrument's range with pieces such as Spinnlied (Spinning Song), Elfentanz (Dance of the Elves), or the Ungarische Rhapsodie (Hungarian Rhapsody), which was published by the Friedrich Hofmeister Musikverlag.[9] He also wrote instructional pieces. Popper is also known for his High School of Cello Playing (Op. 73), a book of cello études that is widely used by advanced cello students.An old edition of the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians described him thus: His tone is large and full of sentiment; his execution highly finished, and his style classical.Gavotte n°2 in D major, op. 23 is originally for Violoncello and Piano. I've adapted piano part for a Cello Ensemble.
