Summary of This Score
David Popper (1843-1913), a student of Julius Goltermann, was one of the great virtuoso cellists of his time, equally appreciated on stage and recognized for his compositions dedicated to his instrument. Like many soloists of the 19th century, he enriched the repertoire with pieces designed to make the cello sing while elegantly exploiting its technical possibilities.The "Fantasy on Little Russian Themes" Op. 43 fully embodies this spirit: a characterful piece, both charming and brilliant, built around themes inspired by folk music. The piano reduction allows working on musical balance, phrasing, and contrasts without waiting for the orchestra, while preserving the structure and energy of the work. The solo part, in the foreground, offers an ideal setting to refine intonation in the upper register, fluidity of passages, quality of legato, and brilliance of virtuosic sections.
Offered in a new edition, this publication emphasizes reading comfort and musical coherence, thanks to the editorial work of Maria Kliegel. A relevant choice for cellists wishing to add to their repertoire an expressive concert piece, effective in auditions, and perfectly suited for working with a pianist accompanist.
