“Elfentanz” Op. 39 in D Major is one of David Popper's more celebrated works for cello and piano. The Austrian virtuoso cellist wrote close to 80 works, most of them for cello. He may have used many of his own compositions as vehicles through which his students could build their technical facility, but it is also speculated by some that he would compose pieces to pay down his tab at the local pub!Hans Kristian Goldstein
