One of the most prominent cellists of his generation, David Popper was born on Jin Prague. When combined, these books offer variety in terms of technique, style and musical era. Popper's book is the most chromatic one, Schroeder's is a collection of etudes composed by different cellists, and Duport's is the oldest of all the books that were in the survey. Respectively, Popper, Schroeder and Duport are the composers of the most commonly used cello etude books. My research was done by sending surveys to randomly selected cello professors in American colleges and universities. On the other hand, in order to be informed about teaching materials other than the familiar ones, teachers need a source that lists the availability and the level of such materials. Teachers consider the level of difficulty and the efficiency of etudes and can compare them with a pool of other studies that they have encountered over the years. It is only natural for teachers to use their own past training as a source for determining the proper etudes for their students. ![]() Cello students entering universities are most likely at different playing levels and although they may require different study materials, there are some common cello etude books that apply to the majority. Depending upon the author and the date of composition, etudes differ both in style and technical demands. ![]() Etudes offer a concentrated study of one or more technical aspects in a short musical form. In addition to scales and arpeggios, etudes provide both the facility and the technical foundation for the student's development. Scales, etudes, performance repertoire, and orchestral excerpts are the basic teaching materials for the cello student. Copyright 2004, American String Teachers Association.
