The popularity of the compositions, arrangements and études by Wilhelm Popp (1828-1903) has never diminished and surely stems from his ability to write in the Romantic concert style while still considering their practicability for pupils and amateurs. Vocal and virtuoso passages have been arranged in accordance with the capabilities of the respective instrument so that the effect is always greater than the level of difficulty. Russisches Zigeunerlied Op. 462/2, printed in 1896 for the first time, is the best example. Ideal for lessons, pupils' concerts or the competition 'Jugend musiziert'.
