Copy of Letter received by the Author from the eminent 'cellist,
HERR DAVID POPPER.
Budapest, February 22nd, 1898.
Dear Sir,—In sending me your book on "The Technics of Violoncello Playing" you have given me a real and true pleasure. I know of no work, tutors and studies not excepted, which presents so much valuable material, so much that is absolutely to the point, avoiding—I might say, on principle—all that is superfluous and dispensable. Every earnest thinking violoncello student will in future make your book his own and thereby receive hints which will further and complete the instructions of his master.
I congratulate you and ourselves most heartily on the new violoncello book. With kind regards,
Yours most sincerely,
DAVID POPPER.
