David Popper

Bohemian cellist and composer David Popper was born into a Jewish family in Prague on 16 June 1843. He studied cello with Julius Goltermann, began touring in 1863 and was noticed by Hans von Bülow and recommended for a job.

He gave the first performance of Robert Volkmann's Cello Concerto and wrote four cello concertos and a Requiem for three cellos and orchestra himself, amongst other works.

David Popper died in Baden bei Wien, Austria on 7 August 1913, aged seventy.
