Popper cello studies
A milestone for an advanced cello student. I appreciated very much the type of transcription, clear and easy to read. Very good!

Essential Daily Studies
Daily training is not complete without the High School of Cello Playing. After playing scales and exercises, the advanced cellist can tie it all together with one or two of these studies to have the best preparation for the concerto repertoire.

Challenging
This is a challenging book for my level of experience playing the cello. There are many different types of exercises which start out at an intermediate level and finish at a very advanced level. The music is large enough and spaced so it is easy to see and interpret.

Whip you into shape
These etudes are great for various techniquee building, but keep in mind, they're murderously hard. Unquestionably for making intermediate and advanced players even better.

A priceless tool for building technique
As my cello teacher put it, "if you can play all of these, you can play pretty much anything." So far the only pieces I've heard that seem more difficult than these etudes are some of Popper's other works such as Dance of the Elves or Spinning Song. These etudes really are wonderful for building everything from octaves to sustained bowings.
