Gautier Capuçon, a famous French cellist, broke the record for David Popper’s Dance of the Elves (Elfentanz). I wanted to give a try playing at that fast tempo. I hope this challenge will help you find how to play this piece at the fastest tempo.
Is it possible? Spoiler: Yes, but I made intonation mistakes. Also, a cellist will likely need a louder-sounding cello (or its setup) and a compatible bow in order to achieve this.
