High School of Cello Playing

Popper for Contrabass

David Popper’s The High School of Cello Playing, edited and arranged for Contrabass by Patrick Neher

The seminal book of concert etudes, The High School of Cello Playing, by David Popper, was written in the late 1800s and is reflective of the popular classical music of the time. Patrick Neher has re-visioned the 40 etudes and has created a challenging but accessible virtuoso technique builder; Popper for Contrabass. This new version of etudes includes 16 of the High School etudes plus two special studies by Patrick Neher.
