Popper Cello Étude No. 3

Teaching Notes for Popper Cello Étude No. 3

What an enlightening session on Popper No. 3 with the fabulous Eric Kutz. Eric uses this etude as a rite of passage for every cellist who comes to learn with him at the University of Maryland. Challenges include the key signature and the centred tuning necessary here, bow distribution and the varying bow speeds, shifting etc.
