Movements: 1. Andante grazioso, 2. Gavotte, 3. Scherzo, 4. Largo espressivo, 5. Marcia

Popper’s Suite for Two Violoncellos, op. 16, comprises five movements that progress through popular dance types and character pieces, culminating in a technically challenging march. The demands made on the performer are less strenuous in Popper’s own alternative finale,  the Tempo di Marcia, originally published separately,  but included in this edition for the first time alongside the suite it was written to conclude.
