Forty Etudes for Solo Violoncello. Composed by David Popper. Edited by Martin Rummel. Paperback. Performance score. Opus 73. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA06978. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA06978).ISBN 9790006525157. 12.2 x 9.57 inches. Preface: Martin Rummel.
These two new editions (BA 6978 BA 6979) of David Popper’s cello studies are the first modern publications of these standard compositions. The Austrian born Popper composed these studies during his tenure at the Royal Conservatory in Budapest in the late 1890s and they were first published between 1901-05 .
The 40 etudes found in op. 73 focus on a wide range of techniques found in the major works in the cello literature. The 15 easy etudes are designed for the first years of lessons which lead to the 10 grand etudes which in turn lead to the op. 73 etudes.
Martin Rummel’s editions offer new bowings and fingerings to reflect modern playing.
The 40 Etudes op. 73 also includes a German / English brochure containing technical tips and information by Rummel as well as references to the cello literature where the individual techniques are found.

Popper High School Etudes (Rummel)
The tudes are great for every aspiring cellist, however, this edition, in which the editor tried to modernize Popper.s original fingerings, removes the pedagogical value of what Popper gave us. By simplifying many of the fingerings, the student is not challenged to make full use of the left hand fingering patterns and possibilities. The print is easy to read, the fold out pages helpful, but ignore the fingerings !

Disappointment
An excellent, elaborate critical edition, superb layout and paper quality, which however proved a disappointment, because the music has been edited, fingerings been changed without them being preserved in the Kritischer Bericht. The editorial commentary is highly subjective and unhistorical, predominantly directed toward modern playing techniques (which change with every generation). The original fingerings I found on line almost always suit me better. Whoever wants to find out what Popper intended, should not purchase this edition.

excellent produciton values
An excellent version of the famous study book by popper. The music is highly legible and considerately arranged with pull-out pages to avoid awkward page turns. It is a tad expensive but will last many years and is worth the investment.

The BEST edition of these studies!
There is no better edition for these 40 studies than this one. These studies are an absolute must for all advancing cellists, and finding an edition I can whole-heartedly recommend to students is very important. I own both the Schirmer and the International editions, but Barenreiter does it best. There are fold out pages to avoid page turns, it comes with a list of studies related to each etude (amazing for both teachers and students), AND I have yet to stumble across a typo. Absolutely amazing... I think I'm in love!
