Popper Etude Op. 73 No. 5

I think it is not half bad for looking at it for less than a week. All the while also memorizing Dvorak third movement and Bach Suite No. 4 Courante.

Popper Etude Op. 73 No. 1

This month, October, I finally accepted the Popper challenge. I have heard about it, read about it, and seen in action on Youtube and in person. Only now have I decided to give it a go and have upped the ante.

What it means specifically to be a Popper Challenge:

1. Practice all 40 etudes from Op. 73 "High School of Cello Playing"

2. Learn one a week

3. Record it regardless of preparedness and refinement.

4. Upload it for the whole world to see.

So, 40 etudes and that means 40 weeks. I should be done sometime in July. So far, there are three videos in the bag but Google's Blogger seems to hating on my computer and will not upload them. As soon as I troubleshoot this issue the videos will be up and viewable.
