In my edition the run with the harmonics is all one down bow except for the last note. It makes me want to cry tbh

[@alexanderhersh]

Omg that part is such a nightmare haha

[@IliaLaporevcellist]

What a singing! Reminds me sitting in nature and watching the river and listening to the streams. And suddenly a bird singing. Bravo bro! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@alexanderhersh]

Thanks man! 🙏

[@diegocorrales844]

This is great man. Such a tasteful interpretation of one of Poppers coolest etudes. You really took it to the next level

[@alexanderhersh]

Thank you so much for the kind words, much appreciated 🙏

[@jofeho]

I've been studying cello for some time and I want to be a professional. Well, your video is inspiring and I say that it's absolutely perfect. It makes me so breathless everytime I watch it. God damn congratulations, you are amazing.

[@alexanderhersh]

jofeho Wow, thank you so much for the kind words!

[@vickicarr48]

So glad I subscribed. I LOVE getting these wonderful recordings on my phone. A moment of serenity or serendipity in my day!

[@alexanderhersh]

Awww, thank you so much Vicki!

[@musiclover808]

You make it look so easy. Good job!

[@alexanderhersh]

Thank you!!!!!

[@UnequalTemperament]

Nice -- clear, graceful, easy (looking!), and flowing. I don't know if I can use my 4th finger up in thumb position like that, but I'll give it a try, now!

[@alexanderhersh]

Thank you! I’m forever jealous of my violinist friends who use 4th finger up high… one can dream

[@andreasbyczkowski3435]

Beautiful!

[@alexanderhersh]

Thanks so much 🙏! Haha the ghost audience was a bit of a tough crowd that day!

[@q_cello-rt9pf]

This is so good! I’m crying in cello right now considering I’m going to have to learn one of these in two weeks soon for an audition. Definitely going to be returning to see how I should play.

[@alexanderhersh]

Awwww thanks so much! honestly they’re all such nice pieces! can’t go wrong with any of them!

[@gasparocelloman9852]

What a charming rendition. Warm earthy tone with a sensitive lightness of touch. You get a fine sound out of that instrument. Is it a Morrison?

[@alexanderhersh]

Thank you so much 😊. The cello in this video is a G. Ceruti.

[@gasparocelloman9852]

@@alexanderhersh Nice! 👍 thanks for the reply.

[@journeymancellist9247]

A bit of liberty with the bowings…hah. And pizzicato at the end! I play it that way too. The arco forte just doesn’t work. Well done.

[@academenos]

Your rendition is inspiring, thanks for sharing! - and I sent the pasta version to my cello teacher - she loved it!

[@alexanderhersh]

Awwwww thanks so much for sharing and helping to spread the word 😀

Totally beautiful! Congrats

Thank you so much!

[@huayumusic3040]

Very good played, you really turned this etude into music, my compliments!!👍👏 PS could you please make a video of some of the Piatti Caprices Op. 25?

[@alexanderhersh]

I love Piatti Caprices. I played a bit of #7 in this video haha: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaGYYa2aqJZsrLM But will hopefully get around to recording proper Piatti videos soon! :)

[@huayumusic3040]

Thanks!

[@archie.p_123]

Woah!

[@MichaelRusli-d2h]

Bravo. I copied some of your fingerings. They worked really well for me. Do you know if the marked fingerings in my Schirmer edition comes from Popper himself? Can't find a named editor.

[@alexanderhersh]

Thank you so much🙏! I’m not sure about the editor of the fingerings in the Schirmer edition. I learned it off of the International edition which is edited by Stutch but I try and use my own fingerings whenever the editor’s suggestion doesn’t fit my hand

[@kdbl725]

it is so beautiful :)

[@alexanderhersh]

Thank you!

[@enzocypriani5055]

Great :)
